If top merit senders wants to be a merit source then they can apply. It's a choice they need to make. If they do not want to be a merit source then let them be it, they are not getting paid for it by the way.
Are you being sacastic? If not, please read TMAN's response to the OP's question.
It should enlighten you.
Think about this question then lock the thread, do you think that the top senders are mining there own merits on the merit testnet or something?
Where the fuck do you think all of those merits have come from?

PS - Could not resist. It should be "their own merits" TMAN, not "there own merits"
Yes. See my English is never perfect and worse when on mobile
I just see you are open minded to receive correction gently way, no body and nothing is perfect and to open my mind that learning will never stop. In case of merit, I see it as way to improve this forum by reducing spam and increasing quality post simultaneously. As I heard from some members, it works even there are some impacts that is not expected such as merit trading, etc. So to improve such merit rewarding, the merit senders should be selected carefully not only by their judging to a post but also their integrity. I don't know whether accepting merit senders need psychological test or not, but at least their responsibility should maintained in the beginning of the appointment as merit senders.
