At this moment there are too many stupid and not useful segments on the map. They make route creation and segments discovery hard.
Take a look at this segment: https://www.strava.com/segments/38298551
One person rode from one city to another and made segment out of the whole ride. Nobody will ever ride this route again but segment is there and hides interesting ones.
Or this segment: https://www.strava.com/segments/21666799
I rode that race but my effort isn’t there. And also there is not a single effort on this segment this year.
So what is the point in having this long segment? Again, it hides really interesting ones.
I’d like to have an option to hide segments like those. One click and it won’t bother me.
Also it would be nice if i could report it as useless so segment could be removed after few reports.
That's the problem with excessively long segments which Strava has documented https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216918227-Optimizing-Segment-Creation-How-to-Create-Good-Segments
I think I saw a suggestion to make segment reports happen, but I can't find it right now. There actually used to be a feature where users could say or choose from a list any problems on a segment such as broken pavement, glass, etc but I think it was abused and phased out.

Not anymore. Now segment can only be flagged because of a bad naming.
