But, not HTFU on the bike necessarily, he needs to HTFU at "life".
There is no set of prime metrics to please every user to make them feel like a coddled snowflake.
To address some specific points he made:
-a paceline won't grab a KOM that actually is worth grabbing....because it's steep enough the pace line's advantage is gone. If it does, it's because a team led their climber out who would have destroyed your time anyway.
-Strava has already updated to be more like a social media platform, to cater to rides like the whiny video maker was posing. You get a nice photo up, etc.. Also, it posts YOUR personal records. If you get a KOM or top 10, great. But it still prioritizes showing people your own personal achievements. So, that point is dead too.
About the video maker:
He's so whiny that I didn't recall or pickup on any of the promotional crap he was pitching or selling for the youtube channel anyway. So, fail.
Lets not gloss over the point he's clearly upset he can't grab KOM's but at the same time is arguing that it's not about stats and we shouldn't care about stats. So which is it? You can't not care about stats AND care about the unfairness of KOM's being catered to racers.
I still lapped everyone on the couch!
