What do you use Strava for? I tried it for a bit until realising it doesn't actually offer anything useful, just publishes your training habits to the world which is kinda creepy
Back when I was using it it was cool to track my progress on different segments of my rides. I could see my progress over time on different sections like a particular hill or whatever. And they also have king of the mountain badges that you can win by being the fastest over certain sections, so it offers a little bit of competition and gamification
That's primarily why I use it. It's fun trying to improve my times
