Not only that guy, many people unable to earn merit due to posting on mega thread. Although someone make quality post on mega thread no merit source or reputed member's will visit it. So there is very low chance to earn merit. On the other hand, after joined this forum maximum people's become busy with bounty rest are busy with increase activity. However very low people think about merit from beginnings. Most of them just think about earning money though it's not wrong. But everywhere need skill for earn in the world. So this forum isn't different. A person can not be equal from all side. Whatever we have skill we should share around the forum. Earn knowledge and distribute it. So I believe they will earn merit automatically. No need begging or asking someone for help. It's true that really not easy to earn merit. But it's not impossible.

The problem isn't making money in this forum, but the way that you make the money.
Strongly agree with this point. To be honest more than 90% members are earning from this forum. But the way id different each other.
