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.

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.

that's cool. idk if i say this because i never managed to get one (i joined late season 4) so maybe there's some subconscious bias there, but it's been kinda funny to see people complain and pine over an emoji next to their username. i mean i understand there was more to it besides just the visual representation, but still.
