Look I have been on here long enough to know how certain things work. I may not be the best writer, but after looking around, the members with the most merits aren't that great either, I mean not in the least, neither do they provide great content or insight. So how did they get all those merits with sub-par content? The senior members say post good content and you will get merits. Hog wash!! It is almost impossible to earn merits on here... Why??? Hope this not a good ole boy's system.... (That's why I love Steemit)!!Another question??? Who the heck determines what good content is. I provide a lot of insight and I have written some good post here but I never get a merit.
My question is why is it so hard to earn merits on bitcointalk.org. Sounds pretty counter-intuitive to me... Please help someone!!
If you love steemit just remain there. We already have a lot of people competing here for the merit points.
I am not an expert with steemit but I guess it also rewards users based on the followers and the engagement the posts get there. It is not that hard to earn merit points especially the 10 merit points to become a member. You are still new and you have a lot to learn here. Spend more time reading the posts here and see what type of posts are getting merited frequently.
