It also denotes that most of the newly added Merit Sources may have a modest allowance, meaning that they serve their purpose to reach areas which were likely rather small in terms of sMerit TXs, but on the whole they do not add to a noticeable amount to boost the weekly flow out of the 4-4,5K area. They may gain some traction over time, but that is yet to be seen.

In addition, a large Merit Sources seems to have dropped out (and he/she looked like a 1K monthly Merit Source), so that could create a small dent.
