Is Strava making us bad cyclists?

Strava might be adding too much gamification to cycling.

It might be pushing for too much progress and really promoting burnout even if it doesn't mean to.

Thank about it. To be anyone in the leaderboards of Strava, you have to compete better than the best in your area. If you're just starting out, it'll almost feel discouraging to even do it.

I wonder if Strava has ever been the cause of someone giving up on cycling!?

How do you all feel about this issue? Is there some truth in it or am I just overthinking it?
