Lichess Must Bring New Titles Such as ACM, AFM, AIM and AGM

Yeah dude think bigger picture. With your fake titles you can then start advertising fake chess lessons based on your fake credentials.
Even better, you can charge chess lessons for computer analysis and automate the whole system. Sounds like a great idea eh?
If Lichess is adding titles I would like to be formally recognized as BM - Blunder Master.
What about OM = Overpowered Master
and WOM = Woman Overpowered Master?

dood, if you grind a little more and play in fide u can become a FM.
I mean the whole value of chess titles is that they are only given to people for playing in otb official events. What you are suggesting would just dilute the value of a title. Also, based on your rating, if you study hard you might get a title.
Funny enough, lichess itself says on the verification list:
"if you have an official title that is not in this list, please let us know."
This would then apply for the official FIDE titles ACM, AFM, AIM and AGM.^^

The intended implication of the start "If you are a professional over-the-board chess player," is that this is OTB related titles. But maybe it should be even more clear.
what is a point of title that does not indicate any strength? ACM maps to somewhere 1500 FIDE and AIM to about 1800.
