LM Title?

Is the LM title worth it? These days so many players are getting LM and LM is treated like an actual title, like IM and GM, when its clearly not.. So I am curious what the general consensus is on this title in general. Thanks.
IMO, LMs are strong players and the title is not easy to get.
LM is one of the strongest titles out there. I've only seen a WCM beat an LM before, and that was with time odds.
Well its pretty easy considering there are so many people over 2450 on lichess.. soon everyone will have the LM title.
LM isnt very strong. MikeyG, ive beaten a fair amount and chessbrahs i know has beaten many of them with berserk or with ease.
i think you are right #1, but i think LMs should be LMs for what they got it for, for example if they got it for bullet then BLM, or for classical then CLM, and if they can do the requirements for 3 lets say then they get LM title, it would make the LM title more valuable
BLM? no offense but that would be laughed it. sounds like a sandwich (BLT)
Agent, you cant really compare LM's with the chessbrahs.. ha LM's can be strong, depending on the player. But there's always room for improvment, even with Hansen
ILIKEMIKE im just saying MikeyG wrong that only having seen an WCM beat an LM is completely rare as the rest of us have seen GM's IM's and non-titled players beat them
