Merit system in my opinion was build as a barrier for new comers and gives an advantage to early adopters in terms of signature campaign.

If you were here because you are interested in the community and to learn about cryptocurrencies, you probably wouldn't care about merits all that much, because ranks are little more than cosmetics.

If you are annoyed by the merit system, because you're only here for signature campaigns and bounties, I'd say that's proof enough for the merit system working as intended.
as expected.. no hero member said contrary to the merit system. I am not even against of it. i am just asking about the distribution of sMerit. Can you tell if this kind of post is legible to be merited by 8 from a single user? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3140323.msg32467777#msg32467777

and? The only people complaining about the merit system are the newbies and jr members that couldn't earn merits because of their ignorance when it comes to cryptocurrency and blockchain. I don't see new people that are really knowledgeable and earn merits complain about the merit system.

Also, please re-read what I just said recently. I even linked you the merit abuse thread.

Merit abuse is certainly a flaw, and is being closely watched by a good number of people here in the community. So it's being watched at a certain extent; and I suggest that you do too.
