I’ve never been a huge fan of Strava. The segments feel really messy to me. Go for a ride/run and in popular areas you can get hundreds of irrelevant segments.

I primarily use Garmin connect now with Strava serving more as a backup. Sad that Endomondo died when it was acquired.

I used to race road bikes and segments were a great way to compete during training rides and the off-season. I haven't raced in years, but it was a lot of fun trying to best your teammates time, or someone you race against.

Now I mostly run and it's far less interesting. I mostly just use it to log my workouts. I love Strava, though, and appreciate the platform they created and opened up for free. I think it's a great product.
