FOA titles on lichess

Seeing that FOA titles are officially recognized titles, shouldn ́t they be acknowledged by Lichess? I see that it would take more resources to verify, but then for example only include AGM and AIM titles. This change would support online chess as a whole and make it less dependent of OTB chess. It would also motivate every day players and players not yet at OTB master level. I don't see this taking anything away from OTB masters, as the A in front takes away some prestige.
Add FOA titles on lichess and make chess fun for everyone!

"Only players with active FIDE Online Arena subscriptions are eligible to receive online titles recognized by FIDE."
that is prop a reason why you have to pay for a title
also they are online titles that are alot easier to get compared to the otb ones plus
these titles you can only get from playing on website and paying unlike others you can get by meeting the requirements anywhere in the world

When u find a AGM, AIM, AFM or ACM in OTB tournaments u just laugh at them
Imagine paying every year taxes just to have a arena title, which provides nothing in exchange besides a "See i'm somewhat good in online chess"...
Better keep your money and study chess...
