No wonder they’ve been so aggressively pushing popups and emails to upgrade to a subscription service over the last few weeks.
My favourite was the bait and switch email with this subject line:
“Your complete personalised 2022 stats recap is here”
Which was actually just an email telling me to upgrade to see my recap.
- voisin 4y agoIn previous years that recap was included in the free tier.
- iamacyborg 4y agoYeah, it's such a weird thing to gate behind a paid subscription too. It’s not like I get anything useful beyond minor feel good fuzzies from yearly recaps of that nature.
- ilikehurdles 4y agoSo were most of their mapping features. And their leaderboards. Their approach to monetization of late has been to sprinkle a little glitter on existing features and then put the entire feature behind a paywall and raise the price later.
- mikestew 4y agoIf one has Garmin Connect, go to Reports/Progress Summary, choose date range (including "last year") from dropdown: more stats than you'll know what to do with. And, yeah, I understand getting the stats isn't the point, but perhaps someone finds it helpful if Strava won't give up the data.
