Of course I would still be eyeballing a few segments post-ride. It's a 30 second "check" that I used to do.
My annoyance is that this feature used to be free and now you have to pay for it. This is the ONLY aspect of Strava that I "miss" and I only miss it a smidge, so for me it's not worth getting the paid version (which I know has lots of other features, but I have zero interest in those).
If Strava had 3 tiers, a free version (like now), a basic version that kept the segments for $15/year, and the premium version, I would probably consider getting the basic paid version. But it's their product and they decide what to offer.
