actually Simon those prints indivuals share on social media is sent to
their emails by the company (as someone pointed after you writing). Strava
sends emails of OSM basemap to their users without attribution.
I been testing Strava app today and had a couple of laughts TB. tYhere's
even more interesting stuff we should take notice when doing the
attribution guidance. they use Google maps on their android app, the routes
they display clearly isn't from their users (it's not GPS traces as it is
impossible to have no overlaping traces on mountain regions). I'm sure
these routes are from OSM and I'm gathering evidence from my contributions
that this is OSM data. I will get back to it when I get home and record a
video with clear evidence that it is impossible to be their users GPS trace
or Google Maps (as they do not have data in that regions). That could only
come from OSM and I'm sure as I added that data and weekly monitor the
editing and their suggested routes sometimes overlap the same route as it
displayed different versions of OSM data during the years.
