For me, I don't think its merit worthy. One reason is it is only helpful to bounty hunters. If you want your post to be merited, wait for a bounty hunter to give it because merit sources and senior members won't find your posts as merit worthy.
Yes, maybe some bounty hunters could give him one merit for that. They are not shitposts, but I dont find them exceptional posts either. And the main problem, as you point out is that bounties are a disgrace for this forum, as they cause a lot of people from third-world countries who can barely grasp English, to come here to the forum and massively spam it so they can earn money.
