people need to chill. The pro players care about the FIDE titles, not chess.com 

It's tongue and cheek, the title will probably be removed in a few weeks

So if I temporarily get to call myself a PhD in say electrical engineering, the fact that it is a temporary thing makes it ok to real PhD-s who actually put in the lifelong effort into achieving it?

Of course it's ok since everyone knows you don't have an actual PhD in electrical engineering. You are not getting a job that requires that PhD. Everyone is aware your title is purely decrotative and temporariy. Similar to if make-a-wish foundation and FIFA arranged a terminaly ill person to be their favorite team goalie for part of a game. It doesn't invalidate the actual goalie at all since everyone is self-aware of the reason behind it. 

I don't believe actual WGM or GM lose anything since none of these streamers are given the respect or treated/regarded as actual WGM and GMs are.

 

It's more comparable to when they put the world heavyweight wrestling championship on David Arquette.

Some things really should just be sacrosanct.

I don't know anything about wrestling or that person so I can't comment. Regarding sacrosanct, I don't consider Chess.com title to be that. If you do, sure. This is not a topic I am coming back to.

I consider the title of chess grandmaster to mean something, yes.

You can come and go as you please. It's a free country.

Pokimane will bring x100 times more money than any WGM signed up on this site.

Pleople should learn how business works in a business website, instead of complaining.

Title is given to business partner who bring money.

So, what is your problem?

WCW business completely bombed (they went out of business) when they put the strap on Arquette following your logic.

The problem is that titles mean something, and when they don't - you go under businesswise.

Are you arguing that she would bring less money without the fake WGM title?
