Yeah, I don't mind that but I don't really want to upload all my stuff to strava just for another app to scrape it. Would prefer it was contained in VV. I guess that data storage aspect would get a lot more troublesome for VV guy. Maybe I should just start getting maps and doing the highlighter pen thing :)

VV does store a subset of the data it scrapes, so he still has a data storage problem to solve.
My guess is that if he allows direct upload of data to VV then Strava will see it as competing and otherwise against their 3rd party app T&Cs and pull the plug on VV's access to Strava's API. The majority of people that use VV aren't going to start uploading to both VV and Strava and so VV will just lose a huge percentage of its customer base.

No. VV just scrapes Strava, it doesn't have any upload facility of its own.
VV works against free Strava (as I don't pay for that and it works fine for me) but you'll need to pay VV the £10 a year for Pro membership otherwise it only scrapes the last 25 Strava activities.
Well worth it, VV is run by one person trying to make a living out of it, not some wanky Sillicon Valley VC funded "we're hear to change to world (and make the founders multi-millionaires)" bunch of greedy ****s.
