Since a few weeks ago Strava is at it again with pushing "features" down your throat. Now among the notifications for an activity I have to read Strava's stupid "motivational" messages (you're doing great, keep at it, da da da). Anyone can help me get rid of those?


 


 

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.
