For example, they bought the German hiking and cycling app Komoot. It's a mature app in terms of functionality, with a stable user base. There's little chance of hypergrowth with this type of app. It's also complicated to switch apps because transferring routes, collections, photos, etc. to another service is difficult.
They laid off 90% of the teams. They migrated the app to their infrastructure to pool costs. Since then, there has been no further development of the service.
They are cost killers of the internet.

Not really, sync everything through Strava, and then drop whichever service you don't want. Basically any bike ride I've done in the past decade is on 3+ services because they all sync.
- mendelmaleh 9mo agoI think by routes he means the trails database, not user activity
- Beretta_Vexee 9mo agoOh I can do it but I am not really representative of the average user. Plus I have a lot of points of interest, note, picture, that I could request via gdpr but not easy to reuse and couldn't be imported into Strava. Strava isn't better than Komoot on this regard.
- stabbles 9mo ago> Since then, there has been no further development of the service. That's not true, the website and app both got a major redesign after acquisition.
- Beretta_Vexee 9mo agoIt is mainly cosmetic and probably due to sharing resources (web template) with their other products. There are no new features.
