    This is one of the many reasons why my account is set to “request to follow”.

    They each have one run to their credit. They love to run at night, naturally. The entirety of their athletic accomplishments:

    First time I clicked on a strange follower and saw a naked tush in the air I figured it out. But it appears Strava cleans them out occasionally.

    That doesn’t block them entirely. I’ve been getting Kudos from a few of the fembots periodically even with that set; per support, it sounds like they also trawl through segment leaderboards to get to people (so they must be getting pretty far through them to get to me).

    I’ve yet to attract my first fembot. Mostly I get real-seeming dudes from Latin America and Europe who join dozens and dozens of Strava clubs and then randomly give kudos to club members. We have a few in the BikeArlington club.

    What are the fembot’s goals?

    That’s probably because Strava displays activity time as your local time. Convert that to time in Moscow and I’ll bet it’s more reasonable. Although running 25 sub-two-minute miles is still not a thing.

    And by coincidence, after not getting strava spam for some time, after reading this thread yesterday, just this morning I got kudos from Rylee Harper, who in addition to having a “sexy” profile pic, is able to run 20 miles in under 50 minutes (is it possible strava is getting data from Google?) Despite such impressive statistics, I decided not to follow her. I already follow enough fast women.

    This changed at some point (maybe when Strava moved from showing the most recent rides first to showing the most recent uploads, regardless of time). At least for me, Strava displays the rider’s local time.

    Maybe they did the run before coming to the States to meet fellow athletes.

    Pardon my ignorance, but I still don’t get it. How do they make money?

    (I have a request-to-follow Strava account so it’s free from supersonic fembots.)
