Your recent update to segments is a bold attempt to clean them up.  One of your changes is to have verified segments.  Your method in determining which segments to verify is through the use of staring?  My concern with staring is that stars are functionally used for LIVE STRAVA SEGMENT ATTEMPTS.  So if I am making an attempt for a segment KOM, i like to see live segments.  However, if i am not going to make a KOM attempt then i UNSTAR said segment because it clutters my screen when ridging/navigating.  Additionally, when i do get that KOM, i unstar.  In other words, staring is not a vote to LIKE or promote a segment.  If you do want to make VERIFIED segments, please create a LIKE button for it rather than counting stars. 

Hello ​@AEROGUERO 

Thanks for your post and for your feedback on the segment initiative. I’m passing it along to the Team for their review. 

Hey ​@AEROGUERO thanks for taking the time to write in on this. We don’t only use stars to determine verified segments. We use a combination of Goals, Stars, Attempts, Leaderboard Views, and GPS quality to determine which segment is a candidate for verification. We also work with event organizers to determine iconic sections of major events to verify. If you have candidate segments you think should be verified, we’re happy to take a look! 

Thanks again for writing in and for your interest in this project.
