As a consumer, I take those '#1 on PH!!' badges as a negative signal, such pride over something so brief and meaningless, displaying it like it's the same as being declared X of the year by some major publication (not that there aren't problems with that too of course).

But obviously some large number of people use PH, and posting there is going to get some eyeballs and sign-ups just like posting on some relevant subreddits will. Just take it off your site, who cares.
