The top 10 leaderboard is completely useless in a lot of places. Most of the segments I ride have way more than the top 10 (so flagging is a waste of time) made up of people averaging 45mph uphill...

I have been paying for several years.
As others have said, why not give the option of watching ads while still getting it for free? Why not make it $1 a month, instead?
Also, as others have mentioned, they need free users to make the leaderboards interesting. It reminds me of free to play video games, where people who play like to complain about "free" players, meanwhile the games generally need a lot of players online to make them viable, so the free players are absolutely essential.
