Minion Badges

[Marionilene]

Does anyone else find these badges somewhat ridiculous and irrelevant. Why am I getting silly minion badges for things I accomplished years ago? I prefer the badges that actually indicate an interesting accomplishment about how far I've walked. I'm sure there are people who like them, but they're pretty insulting for those of us who've been recording our walking accomplishments for years. Is there a way to NOT get these badges?

From what I read, they are for kids, but everyone is getting them. I don't mind them. As you said, some of us have been getting badges for so long, there are very few badges left to get. I don't mind getting a couple more for a change.

I find them incredibly vacuous as well. I received one last week I think.

Like you, @betpchem I'm happy to receive any new badges.  Whilist the 3 minions badges may have been aimed at kids, they will help to get moving again post-lockdown.

you can set your badge notifications to silent and stop seeing the badges if they bother you that much. Of course it will silence all your badges, but an option for you. I personally find badging in general a waste of time-  I don't need an app to give me a trophy for doing what I would be doing anyhow, but I know I am in the minority on this.
