How to remove/mute "motivational" messages from Strava

[pssaenz]

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?

Please stop the motivation kudos. Everyone who reads this. Please start a new comment, thread, and let us flood them with request to change this feature to being optional!

With the last update of the Strava app, I now get Kudos from Strava. Not from followers, but from STRAVA! "Way to go, T...", "Kudos to you, T...". Why?

And, apparently this feature cannot be disabled. It's not even an option in the push notifications within the app. I don't want to see this junk.

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

The motivational messages are utter crap and you should let user to turn them off completely. Who even requested such a silly feature?

Stil get the kudos from Strava itself. Very annoying. Problem was issued last year but stil not fixed!!

Turn this crap off. Wow, you went for a 900 meter dog stroll. You're so freaking amazing. My whole day is amazing now.

Doesn't that just make you feel so motivated? Nothing like pathetic pats on the back

I canceled my subscription today with a note: "Motivational" notifications after uploading an activity.

Too bad, I'd been a subscriber since 2015 but I'm not going to pay money to have Strava can push out childish notifications like these with no user control.

I'm with you, and many others. I have been a subscriber since 2013 (with a 2 yr hiatus due to Strava ignoring paying customers on a very similar topic - they were forcing us to see the activities of everyone we followed each time we uploaded a new activity, instead of letting us immediately check OUR activity and browse for the rest if we felt like).

I just canceled my subscription with this message:

Hate "Motivational" notifications after uploading an activity. Many PAYING customers are asking you to AT LEAST give us the option to turn off this FEATURE but you keep ignoring us. I'm not going to pay to be annoyed every time I upload an activity.

I'm fed up. This time I'm going to re-work how I get the same features I was using here through a combination of other apps that I've tried and I use on and off.

They left us no choice when they ignored our complaint. Only way to get people's attention is through the wallet. My theory is that they saw the meteoric rise of Peloton and wanted a piece of that, somehow. What they fail to remember is that this once-great platform is about athletes and the athletes they follow. Cheerleaders have no place where athletes are already so motivated that they are looking only for more time to ride. Strava has really blown it. Cheers, taa022! Have a great season.
