What's the point of the badges?

Apologies if this has been covered / asked before. Is the point of the badges to have a shiny icon next to your name, can we turn them in for commission?

I think it shows that people are participating effectively in the War Room as well.

Because every platform has badges now! They make engaging and participating  way more fun. I wouldn’t be wearing an Apple Watch or logging Strava workouts daily if I wasn’t getting badges lol

Not sure, but the social clout is real. I went up to 10 different girls at the bar this weekend and opened with "hey did you know I earned my Contributor badge on Bravado last week? Would love to buy you a drink." This didn't work with any of them and I only had 2 drinks poured on me. All good though. They will never understand.

I think they're working toward giving out commission for badges but they're not quite there yet.

I figured that's the direction they would go. Hopefully it doesn't lead to more spamming posts for points...

There is supposed to be a commission attached to each one once obtained. I haven't really paid attention to see if it has actually been awarded or not though.

How many consecutive hours did you spend in the War Room reading and commenting when you were FINALLY accepted? For me it’s been 7 and it’s now 1:20am. Good lord wtf.
