Strava stopped innovating years ago and hasn't introduced any useful new features. Although I seldom use Relive, this user hostile move finally convinced me to cancel my paid Summit membership. It's my data, I should be able to use it for whatever I want.

Strava has been promising support for triathlons and other multi-sport activities literally for years but hasn't actually built anything. Right now if you compete in a triathlon it shows up as five separate disconnected activities. And the swim portion can't even be tagged as a race.

Segment leader boards have also become a joke with nothing to prevent cheating or accidental bad data uploads. They claim to have a feature that automatically flags bad activities but it doesn't work at all. It would be trivial to auto-flag activities faster than the world record but they don't even bother to do that. It seems like their engineering organization is just completely incompetent.
