As segment leaderboards get ultra-competitive with Pros, KOM-hunting, and general Strava popularity, the public leaderboards begin to lack significance for friendly competition amongst friends & club members. The thrill of earning that KOM or LL status (and the motivation to improve when you get that dreaded email saying the segment has been nabbed) feels almost more relevant to compete against the groups of people you know. Adding the crown or wreath icons to the Following or Club subscriber that holds the title and either a notification or email would be a huge user experience boost for those that rarely (or likely never) see a segment achievement in their activities.
