Received. I gave you 1 merit, and I see jackg did the same -- does this mean that we both are a confirmed alt of you?

It think you used Merits as a "Like", but that's not how it's supposed to be used:

Also, now people have been shifting to SegWit addresses, what is the direct (positive) result that you noticed?

Bitcoin fees went down already, although I don't think there is a direct relationship. Three weeks ago DarkStar_ paid $188 fee, today $5. SegWit addresses don't safe on fees when receiving transactions, the savings happen when you make a payment from a SegWit address.
