strava free vs paid feature set changes...

No such emails for me either. Only emails I get from Strava are comments notification that I requested.

All of the ambiance of a political contribution email, none of the charm.

The leaderboard is THE reason Strava is Strava. Paywalling that is just moving the deck chairs around imo.

Agreed. Given the cashflow that I thought they were generating from subscriptions, I have been really underwhelmed by their features over the last 5 years. They've had plenty of time (and venture money, btw) to come up with 'the next big thing' to add to/replace the leaderboard.

The thing that gets me is that their user forum (atleast when I followed it) had a ton of great user generated ideas. And none of them were pursued.

True also. As someone on here said about powermeters, paying for the leaderboard functionality would be like a poor person hiring an accountant to add up all their money.

Thanks. Even with your guidance it took me awhile to find the setting, since the bar graph you mentioned was "below the fold." I kept looking at and poking the horizontal bar graph further up the page on the right side. I was beginning to think that choice of time interval was only available to paid users.
