Reminds me of kindergarten Econ, where the professor asked the class to bid on apples. Most of us bid 10-25 cents per apple (yes, that was a long time ago), but one guy bid $20 for an apple, which would have maximized the professor's profit.
So maybe the answer is to raise the price to $175 million per year, and make all their money off Mr. Musk's subscription until he loses a lawsuit and cancels his subscription, too.
Strava is making my decision easy. Last year I was looking at Strava and Ride with GPS costs and couldn't decide which one to cancel; so I dithered, and both of them auto-renewed. This year the decision will be easy. But, oh, darn, I'll lose both of my local legends. Boo. hoo.
