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. 😅

Actually, this is really good news! Some time ago, when I was just getting used to WarpCast, someone asked if I only drew beans for people with badges. That question made me a bit sadI hope we can build more genuine connections between people, regardless of visible standards. Just like you and me
