I've long been a paid sub-scriber to Strava. I was so happy when Mark Gainey returned to the company and returned focus to making it just a really great experience.

I think I even remember hearing him say in an interview that he would be happy to just keep the current number of subscribers and make it a more focused product.

That matters because there was a time when it seemed to be turning into just another social network. At that time the major new feature seemed to be "inspirational blog posts". That's not for me.

For about a year I cancelled my subscription but returned when the focus when back on providing useful features like route planning.

I wish that Netflix would just concentrate on providing a better experience and better content instead of degrading the existing experience even more.
