Curious about whether Runge et al reviewed the impact of reducing free features when there’s competition. I imagine there’s always the fear of not giving enough to attract free users and someone else doing so. In the case of Strava, it seems alternative apps (Trailforks, Garmin, …) pushes it to keep most social attributes free (afaik only full rankings are behind a paywall) to maintain its network effect advantage.

I agree. I don't think they study that.
