As a reminder, we are on a subreddit called ‘r/strava’ made up of loyal users. The story about user data is that in 2024, Strava changed its terms of service and API guide. They decreed that the data belonged to them because they had processed and collected it. They also declared that they had the right to disconnect and kill any projects that vaguely competed with an existing Strava feature, such as ‘displaying public statistics’. The backlash was significant.

You have to be a real hypocrite after all that to try to elicit sympathy and claim to be a defender of users and their data.
