TITLES FOR NON-FIDE PLAYERS/FOR ONLY ONLINE PLAYERS
Your profile says you live in a very large city near Manila. There must be chess clubs or tournaments in your area.

I have a full-time job, and it seems like I’d need to sacrifice my work just to be dedicated to chess tournaments, which for me isn’t a good trade-off. There’s no guarantee that life will be stable even if I become a FIDE-titled player, especially without a job. Maybe to compensate for the losses, I’ll just become a chess streamer instead, lol
I hope this reaches the admin or moderators of chess.com. I wish there were, or there could be, titles for non-FIDE players when they reach the required ELO. The design of the title could be non-colored, for example, monochrome, so it wouldn’t be red. This way, there’s a distinction between officially titled players and non-titled players.
And yes, titled non-FIDE players wouldn’t get free diamond membership. The purpose is purely for display, to provide some challenge for players who can’t participate in tournaments and can only play online.
