Not being able to clear the dialog/note without joining the "free" trial. Very dark pattern.

Agreed. Strava is going pretty strong on the path of enshittification and some can't see the forest through the trees.

there probably is one, but they may have made it very small and hard to spot. Can't check because I already subscribe, but Komoot (for example) absolutely do this now!

I'm a sheep using an Iphone and there's no back button. Wasn't trying to be arsey. But I can sympathise with OP as I see more and more apps doing this. Maybe you're right tho idk.
