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. 😅

Well, everything has its pros and cons, kind of like dating a gourmet chef who can't cook breakfast. But hey, it's exciting to see how this will turn out! 🫶🏻

Hoping my non-powerbadge friends finally get the spotlight they deserve, because if we’re all in the same boat, it better have a spotlight and a good Wi-Fi connection! 😂🤣

I somehow in favor for these experiments. I've been a non-PB user for a long time and only recently got mine. I understand how challenging it is for non-PB users to stay on this app, struggling to get attention while often being ignored. I think it's time to level the playing field and make everyone a normal user.

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. 🤣😂

I can boastfully say yes, you are such an amazing one have ever meet in this platform, I know many of those folks begging me for tip and all Hahahha.

Suddenly they get PB and be like wtf you are hahah I feel shy and embarrassed because they don’t have any meaningful content but people like you and @babytomato.eth really make me believe you can do better without having PB. ❤️⚡️

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?

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