  Who, Garmin? The fact that they added a paid subscription model “Garmin Connect +” for “premium features” that is the first step in the enshittification play book and how Strava started before they slowly erodes features away and put them behind a pay wall of a “subscription service”. I spent a lot of money on watches over my 15 plus years of using Garmin products and do not appreciate them adding paid subscription bullshit.

  Add on to that the fact they are an American company with no offline options I’d rather not be sending a lot of sensitive health and location settings to American servers constantly every single day. So those two factors should be reason enough for everyone to start rejecting them IMO.

    I meant Strava, I don’t have a Garmin. I use Strava (I pay for premium) and I like it and they keep adding features (I mostly ignore their AI)

    After 3 free apps that I used to track my runs went under or really enshittified I decided it was worth it to pay for something I liked

      I don’t know how long you have used Strava for but for how long I used it a lot of those features you now pay for used to be standard features that came with the app. You didn’t need to pay to get access to all those things and when you have been using features for literally a decade and then suddenly they are held to ransom it kind of pisses you off and makes you not want to use that shit any longer.
