How many of these are uphill?
They're the only proper ones. Downhill doesn't count 😉
Maybe there should be a thread where we all post pictures of our weiners next to something for scale?
Got a KOM on a popular road on Majorca. 1st out of 3000+ ... But it's a descent .... So doesn't count sadly.
Got a few local KOMs with 20-50 riders on them (not manay Strava users locally). But my favourite is this one:

80km at 30kph on the London-Edinburgh-London stage 9.
I know there were about 1000o riders doing the ride, so only 10% have uploaded to strava (or at least did the complete segment) but its stil ace. I also would have got a couple mnore, but my segment time included the time spent in the control. Oh well...

Strava is not the place to prove you are quick, as it can be jigged, saying this I make a kom every time I go out on the bike, I never bothered using strava until one of my clients recommended me using it, a few of my clients would always tell me how fast I was on the bike, I never told them I could have been a pro!
My recent stat is 1/6547, this was a climb the same day I came 1/4299 on descent, this is a regular pattern,
I'm very passionate about my riding and have never had anyone overtake me on a climb or descent.
I have over 300 koms since being on strava 8 month ago, needless to see why I teach mountain bike skills!
Obviously you are right - Strava is not the place to prove you are quick - endlessly bragging on a mountain bike forum is the place.You're the guy off the 'faster than you' video aren't you?

I'm just passionate about my riding, what is so bragging about that?
One thing I always try drum into my clients head is confidence, confidence is where it starts and if you think I'm bragging then your far from wrong, it's called positive thinking, you should try it and maybe you might get some koms!
Someone called Lance Armstrong seems to have popped up recently on some of ours as KOM
Fabian Cancellara apparently lives and works in Cardiff, and uses Strava on his commutes.
Thanks. Do I have to pay you for that little snippet of advice?
My best on one of the nastiest climbs locally is 9/88 which doesn't sound overly impressive but still one I'm proud of - beats all my mates times
