Kinda hoping we don’t, honestly. I’d be fine if they were backend only, or just gone completely.
As useful as the paid blue check marks in Twitter.

Never.

I'm fine with keeping them soley as an indicator that I'm contibuting in a positive way to the community.
I also use it to decide on how much effort I'll put into discussions with other users. If a user I'm talking with has a consistently low or negative reputation then they are more likely a troll or combatative person who is really not worth wasting your time in engaging with in detail.
