I never perceived any real value to Strava. I don't care what other people do for their exercise, and I assume no one has a need to see or interest in what I do.
Yes, exactly. It's nice to encourage friends and receive encouragement but that doesn't get me out the door to "do the dang thing" and to be honest it lacks in terms of meaningful interaction. It seems essentially frivolous and I am not in the habit of scrolling the activity feed due to lack of real content. This is probably a good thing for me, ultimately. I see "kudos" as the automatic and lazy way to exhibit interest (I'm certainly guilty of the same) and it's rare for someone to bother to post a comment. The segment hunters, leaderboard obsessives, and new route finders are seemingly Strava's bread and butter for primary user revenue.

Other than losing a lot of money, which is what they really care about. They have been bleeding money from what I hear.
The secret to strava is to follow very few people (if any at all) and have a very small number of followers. Then you can do whatever the hell you want without feeling watched.

I am specifically talking about the mileage total for the week that was displayed in the same place for 10yrs. That’s what the post was about. You chose to write a book about how this was shoving data in people’s face and over analyzing.
Had to use a new handle due to some mysterious banning practices. "IT support" and "thesekidsunderstand25" are both me.
Before that, I wrote step-by-step instructions exactly how to find your weekly mileage. Then I went ahead and pontificated. All's good in my book.
The weekly totals were one of the few useful items on strava. May phase out of it.

I am telling you...read before responding. Go back in the thread, and there are instructions to see your weekly totals. Please withhold your protest until you have exhausted your resources
Which screen is the number gone from?
In the app, I open 'You' tab and see my weekly total as it was there before.
On the web, I go to my profile or someone else's profile and see bars representing weeks and can click on any of those and see the weekly total.
There used to be a training log, but it's now a premium feature.
If there were some other way to check weekly mileage, I wasn't using it. So which one is gone?
I just use Microsoft Word.
Since most running KOMs are sub 3 minute miles and on 40-60 mile “runs” being done in 2-3 hours hard to pay for their insight and analytics if they can’t tell the difference. There is a two block long steep hill near me where the KOM is at 82 mph. Nice to keep up with friends across the country, but 75 segments per mile is annoying.

Every time there is a Strava thread there is someone whining about this. Just flag them. It removes them from the leaderboard immediately.
This shouldn’t happen in the first place. Your solution is to be incompetent and expect others to to fix your problems? Tired of my tax dollars being wasted on you. Can’t solve a problem, but you want to waste resources to fix everything.
