I don't think this is how merit is supposed to be distributed, it defeats the purpose of merit.
It is hard to earn and this is somehow a charity post to help out people who wants to earn merit but can't write quality post, some people do not have the education to do so but loves the forum and earn merits to do signatures and earn some micro income.
I get where you're coming from, I'm not necessarily a supporter of the merit system. But if you can't write quality posts you shouldn't be getting the merit.
