Obviously, this question could be weird because, people with a 1500 rating there, could have a title (AFM). But..., what about a Arena FIDE Grandmaster title confirmed? They hard to get and are officials!

I'd like to see if there's any demand to begin with. If it's something that people actually work towards I'm eager to see a complementing title for LM like Lichess Arena Master.

nope.
Thibault talked. :D
Arena FIDE titles are FIDE's latest tirck to milk money from ambitious amateurs.
I imagine sth like this:
"I'm a GM, but not really... Arena GM... much much weaker." (OfcThey will skip telling about Arena part here.)
You started chess 2 days ago, no problem!!! You are Arena CM or FM whatever.
These Arena things makes original titles lesser, throws a dirt on them. If someone is bragging about his "title"(for what else reason are you gonna buy them?) they are lying about their strenght to everyone including themselves.
LM is more valuable since it requires consistent 2300 (CM-FM-weakblitzIM) master class rating.

After this commercial tumor (FIDE Arena), the FIDE looks more like a coorporation (profit oriented), than a Global Chess Organization.
I'm actually a title player... but only in Toledo, Ohio ... and more specifically in my basement... and particularly my play when drinking beer.
Think you could put that title together for me Thibault?
