I think people are always going to seek status or validation and people in EA are no different. Status in EA has a lot of massive upsides as well (you might have greater chances of getting funding/โjob offers). Itโs highly unlikely this will change. What we should be actively monitoring is how closely weโre matching status with impact.
Also, Iโm not sure if the title is good or bad. I think this post points to some important things about status in EA and I wonder if the misleading title makes people less likely to read it. On the other hand, I thought it looked funny and that made me click on it.
