These are generally referred to as "pay to play" awards. They're very common. People who are in the industry generally know which awards are real and which are just "pay to play" type. But for customers who aren't as clued in, more awards always looks better!
- registeredcorn 3y agoOut of interest, can you think of any that are legit? I'd like to know what to keep an eye out for.
- passwordoops 3y agoIt's very much industry-niche specific. For example, the company I referenced above's best honors came from the American Geophysical Union, but that's (mostly) academics voting for something that truly did change the field. But in parallel I know the American Chemical Society's equivalent can be bought. For sure I no longer pay any attention to broad general tech awards. It's like those "X under X" lists. About half are rich kids with connections and good photo ops and/or committing fraud.
