Strava understood something other fitness apps missed: exercise is social. The feed, kudos, and segment competition create motivation that no amount of gamification badges can match. Activity recording is reliable. Route building is genuinely useful. But Strava has been steadily moving features behind its paywall in ways that feel punitive to free users. The core recording experience on free tier is now so limited that it borders on hostile.

What holds it back
