This isn’t a solution. I used to have a premium subscription - and gifted them to several other people. I cancelled a while ago because of your tone-deafness. Sad to see that’s still present.

Please provide me with an option to remove stupid answers from Jane

@Scout and everybody at Strava have completely ignored the complaints. Utterly useless!!!

Please, please allow us to disable this completely. Who thought this could possibly be a good idea??

@pssaenz did you accepted jane's "solution"? or did jane accept it herself? The later would not surprise me a bit.

These are so bad and tedious. Please get rid of them.

This "feature" is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen in a long time. I am sick of getting a bot-generated notification every time I upload GPS data to Strava saying “Kudos!” and “Great Job!” like I am a 2-year-old kid who just got a participation trophy. Why not have the developers fix all the broken things about the platform instead of adding dumb features that nobody wants?

This is EXACTLY what I am talking about. I don’t need a participation trophy or some dumb “congratulations” certificate for pushing a button. Seriously? I get another one of these dumb things thrown at me just for posting a complaint about how I cant shut this stuff off?

And I don’t need another dumb participation trophy just because someone gave me “Kudos!” on a post about how these participation trophies are so dumb.

8 Months later and still no way to turn off this childish crap despite so many complaints. And its not only the app, also in the web-view the "bell icon" shows me numerous "news" only to find out that 90% of those are these useless kudos from Strava itself. People who like to be motivated this way can take on challenges and earn badges anyway.

I also start looking for more grown-up alternatives. 

Hi this isn’t good enough. The kudos messages are so sickening and inauthentic they are enough to turn me off Strava and investigate alternatives. 

Please make these optional. 

Let us disable it, it is annoying, or we will look for an alternative

Please make it possible to diaable this nonsense.

​@Jane any update on this? It has been more than a year and seems like a pretty simple fix for a feature that no one I have ever met who uses Strava appreciates. Thank you 

I'm new to Strava, and the first thing I noticed is this. WUT is that? And it can't be disabled. This feels amateur hours a bit.

Stop paying for subscriptions. The only way to get change is to hit them where their wallet is.
