Update: experiment was a success, power badge is no more in Warpcast!

Active users saw no impact and new users benefitted from this change. Warpcast will remove power badges from the UI permanently. 

If you are a developer who uses Power Badge, @neynar will continue supporting the Power Badge API for you.

Why are ppl upset about this? Isn't this what everyone wanted? No more power badges?

"But I just got mine after grinding for months" yeah and now nobody needs to mindlessly grind anymore

Eat the sunken time cost and move on to more fulfilling things

Agreed!
I've just got mine this week but I believe there's not much different either having or not having powerbadge displayed in my profile. If people think my profile is worthy to follow/interact, they'll do.
