That's not always true, and this is an example of that. The increment in Copper Memberships is not always as positive as people think it is. Right after the new changes, people started buying Copper Membership in order to wear signatures and participate in Bounty Campaigns which only accepts Jr. members or above and they could not earn Merits to reach the required ranks. Such people would definitely shitpost after buying Copper Membership since they invest their money in order to earn some more and for which they require to shitpost because if they could be constructive, they wouldn't need to buy Copper Membership for this purpose only.

That's not what everyone do though, but that also happens, quite often these days.
