It was more the point that Strava gets annoying for some when segments you're interested slowly get filled up with this kind of thing, i.e. the top 10 contains a load of car journeys and GPS lock glitches.
Since I never bother the top 10 it's not a problem for me. Strava is just a nice basic visual training log for me. For more visual detail I've got Garmin Connect or Golden Cheetah and for all of the stats in one place I've got a spreadsheet that I manually fill in (which I'm slowly trying to automate based on parsing the .fit files myself).

I use WKO3. I tend to upload any 'special' rides I do to Strava, like new audaxes and races but even those I've kinda slacked off on because exporting them from Connect always fails. #typicalgarminsoftware

I commute in London. Every single segment my Strava ever registered is filled with people doing it at 60km/h or more, doesn't matter how long it is, whether it's uphill or downhill, whether it goes through some intersections or not.
But what really annoys me is how Strava has ZERO data integrity check. Your GPS spazzed out and now you've done 300m at 180km/h? Not a problem, you're on the leaderboard now.
Say what?? How incredibly simple would it be to just put in a maximum speed allowable? Even putting it at 70km/h would at least get rid of of the GPS glitches.
Now - having said all that, I don't actually care much about it for my own sake. In the history of my cycling, I got one KOM, on a slightly obscure road / gravel / road track outside of Cambridge, where I was 'competing' with one other dude who had put up a realistic time. That was cool. But I know I don't have a chance of beating the 'pros' anyway, much less on a fixed gear bike - I'm not actually trying to get into the top 10 myself. However, it'd be nice if, when I do look up the leaderboard, I could marvel at people's actual achievements, instead of counting the GPS glitches.

I rarely use Strava. This is on someone else's ride.
