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. 😅

If that happens, I love watching these bots get popular just because they’ve got badges! It’s like bots getting VIP status at a digital disco. 🤣😂

Are you sticking around because of the people here? Am I one of those people making you stay? 💟 Hahahah!

Ofc, there are bots and spams getting PBs too. After all, bots are designed by clever folks, and if they find a ‘loophole’ in the system, you bet they’ll jump on it! Guess it’s not just us humans trying to navigate the maze! 😁

i cant believe I'm still here and some kinda bot keep holding the badge - Does this mean many spam are holding PB why only view are real?

Thrilled we're on the same page about real connections! Who needs badges when you’ve got mutual respect and shared vibes ayt, my lovely bean? 🫶🏻

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 sad🥲I hope we can build more genuine connections between people, regardless of visible standards. Just like you and me☺️🫶🏻

I hope this pb off for now will extend🤣..maybe a month😅. I miss the old times😅
