No sugarcoating here. 
'To Have or Not to Have the Power Badge: A Journey to Deciphering the System' is my follow-up article to the previous one 'Unlocking The Power Badge'. 
It delves into possible reasons behind acquiring or losing Power Badges and maybe offers some insight on navigating the system.

@ryya wrote an excellent article about badges (below), not sure if you saw it.

she calls these people "the inner circle" and there is an assumption they're exclude from a the day to day volatility. IF this is true, i'd want more info before judging since it's complicated. (cont)

I understand why someone might feel this way, but personally I don't think the intentions are malicious. I just think the devs are in a bit of an impossible situation and its difficult to stay ahead of the bots.

Most would agree except the devs who are really fine with the difficulty it poses to new accounts and set up the system specifically so that they don’t have to see objections by turning on Priority mode and effectively hiding those protest posts because they aren’t “interesting” to them.
