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.

Once upon a time, a power badge was needed to show up in conversations.

That's no longer the case - Warpcast uses machine learning to find low quality content and move it into "Show more" 

It's good for users because the machine learning models a lot more accurate than the power badge was.
