Recognition 

This is an alternative meaning of the word. With emphasis on the " REE" long 'e'. In this instance it refers to someone who repeats the same questions, conspiracy theories and jokes over and over and over ad nauseum.

Sheila: Randy can't take a hint! I keep telling him I won't come to his house to see his collection if antique Unix terminals but he asks me about it every 5 minutes.
Joe: Sorry Sheila, he means well but he got a mental condition called RECOGNITION. So the same ideas just keep popping up over and over and over.

Recognition Economy

What happens when the trophy becomes more valuable than what you did to earn it.

A sprawling global industry built around organizing, judging, reporting, and monetizing formal recognition from workplace recognition to the global awards like the Oscars to competitions for things you didn't know existed.

Somewhere between meritocracy and theater, and increasingly hard to tell which.

They launched an award just to have something to nominate themselves for. Peak Recognition Economy.
