The nineteenth-century sociologist Max Weber defined status as “an effective claim to social esteem in terms of positive or negative privileges.” 

He characterized it as a form of social access.

Two key claims to social esteem: money and wit/intellect. If you have one or both you usually have social access of some kind. Web3 doesn't change that.

But there can be barriers - looks, race, family, disabilities, etc. 

Web3 at its best makes the claims easier to prove and the barriers harder to erect.

Checking I understand your question - I gather you're saying social networks simulate respect, admiration etc. by replacing them with quantitative things (like tokens and likes). And how can we create qualitative status rewards while remaining in a social network/web3 environment? Is that what you're asking?

“Status is defined as the respect, admiration, and voluntary deference individuals are afforded by others.”  social networks try to simulate this with quantitative criteria. how can we create qualitative criteria?
