Auto-flagging has made Strava so much worse

Needing to flag people taking KOMs in cars was bad, but Strava's auto-flagging is worse. Every week I'll have some commutes on my cyclocross bike auto-flagged as ebike rides and now they've made it so you can't just correct it but instead have to submit an appeal to support. This isn't worth my time. I've terminated my Strava subscription. You would think that with over a decade of my performance data, the algorithm would know that these rides are nothing special. If anyone else has a permanent solution to this problem that doesn't involve deliberately riding and accelerating slower to appease the faulty algorithm, or falsely declaring a ride as something it's not (like declaring a normal bike ride as an ebike ride or as an 'other' activity) I'm all ears.

Integrated bar/stem options for Propel Advanced SL 2027?

Hey all, I'm new to Giant bicycles and am considering the Giant Propel Advanced SL 2027 frameset as the basis of my next bike. However I have a problem. To achieve my correct fit I need a 130mm stem and Giant doesn't offer an integrated cockpit that is in the right length and width. I would have to go to a 360/130 which is the only 130mm stem offered and is much narrower than I want. I'm looking for something that is 370 to 380mm hood to hood vs the 340mm hood to hood dimensions of the 360/130.

Are there other options out there that still have decent integration with the Propel steerer and frame? i.e. everything hidden, nicely integrated spacers, etc?
