Experiment: Hiding power badges

Power badges will be hidden on Warpcast for a week. We’re running this experiment because:

1. New user find it hard to get follows due to “power badge bias”
2. Power badge isn’t being used much in Warpcast anymore.

Goodbye Power Badge this week? ⚡️ Let’s see how this experiment plays out. I’m excited for my friends with fewer follows to gain more connections this week! I just hope that if the decision is to permanently remove the Power Badges, there will be an option to add a "bot" badge. It would make it easier to filter out spammy hotmail accounts and fake tippers. 😅

I somehow in favor for these experiments. I've been a non-PB user for a long time and only recently got mine. I understand how challenging it is for non-PB users to stay on this app, struggling to get attention while often being ignored. I think it's time to level the playing field and make everyone a normal user.
