How to opt out of badges - I'm not an employee of Zoom and don't require praise

[SignmeUplease]

I like Zoom. It does what it says it's supposed to do. As an instructor, I've used it and taught others how to use it since the very beginning.

However, is there a way to disable the Badges feature? I find this extremely annoying because I'm not an employee of Zoom. I have no desire to 'earn' badges or receive praise or acknowledgement for being a customer of a service. Nobody needs to know how long I've been a customer. We have a business related transactional arrangement between myself and Zoom. The dynamic between Zoom and myself is not that of an employer/employee or anything similar. I find it a patronizing and unnecessary feature. Not to mention the expense of maintaining this silly system which gets passed on to the customer. This seems to be everywhere now and it needs to be called out.

Thank you for your response to this request.
