This is extremely bad... I think a lot of newbies will try to buy merit but I think they are missing the point. If they just put a bit of time in one of their posts I bet they could easily get 1 merit for it.

What if theymos will increase the merit requirement? Will they buy more? Long term buying is not a solution.

No it is not bad.

A lot of shitposters will abandon their "work"

Others will buy merit and get red tagged for it - making their account only acceptable to the worst of the campaigns that will take anyone that breathes.

Others will buy a copper membership, buy merit, plagiarize content, or make a genuine post and then get banned for shitposting or plagiarism if they break the rules.

Either way - it will cost them effort or crypto to have an account that they can lose for breaking the rules - so hopefully they will stop breaking the rules.

Less rule-breakers is the ultimate goal. If they go undetected for buying merit - that is less bad than spamming the forum.

If you buy merit and the merit seller gets caught - ddmrddmr has fantastic graphics that will show all the recipients.

I'm sure that no one on the forum wanna become shitporters or something like that. If the BM use google form to report the "work", maybe you can't see any spams.
