I've been paying for a while. I am honestly not sure what value I get from it. I would need to evaluate that and see if it is still worth it. But that is separate from the new paid issue as I have been paying.
I use Strava mostly for the social aspect of it. It is linked to my Garmin devices, as well as Training Peaks (which I don't currently use) and Trailforks (I try to make trail reports). I also like to track mileage on Strava, but could easily do that with Garmin. I don't think Strava does anything that Garmin can't do besides cross platform segments (though not all Garmin users are Strava users, so maybe a wash). But I have been tracking bike/shoe mileage for nearly a decade now.
I like the segments, and I do compete on them on occasion. But there is a time and place, I always yield the trail so sometimes I just lose my effort, oh well. I like being in the top 1% on segments that have meaning to me (too many junk segments). But I don't live by it and my riding wouldn't suffer if I stopped doing it. But I do like the social part, so I stick around. Weird as I am so anti social. Maybe I am just attention seeking?
