The only way I managed to get a badge was “cheating” by making an important PB friend outside of WC who could boost me here.
Joined /powermonday and BECAUSE people there actively avoided the built in suppression, made enough important follower connections to finally get a badge. 
But not everyone can do that.

This is not cheating. Use out of band boosting is encouraged!

Proof of work!

I had to go seek that though. The badge shouldn't just be about who you know and who you know the only way to get a badge.

If the point is to promote "interesting" content over not, there are plenty of people with the badge making and promoting low effort and boring content engagement farming. And good content hidden.

Yes,  a good content can make a difference in the way people follow you irrespective of badge..

I hope they are working to boost profiles with less followers..I read in some cast yesterday.. Retaining power badge is also a struggle for those with less followers or not so hi profile..Many good and active users lost it last week..

Sure, if they actually see your posts.
The problem is that if you are posting to a popular channel, or replying to an active thread and you don't have a badge and other people do, your post will be pushed so far down that very few even see it, even if they have priority mode to "Everyone".
