Due to respect to merit sources and the core ideas of keeping sources as in secret as possible, I don't give data on them here.
I have some summary statistics and box plots for the top 100 meriters, during whole time (2018w4 to 2020w2), and in specific years (2018, 2019).
From the raw tables, you can see the median of weekly gave-away merits from the top 100 meriters, over all 4 groups have increased over years. You can also see it from the box plot, medians represent by these lines inside each boxes.
There are some factors:
- They earned more by themselves.
- Their merit giving-away behaviour changed.
- Their monthly sMerit allocation increased
Expectation:I do expect the median of weekly gave-away merits will keep increasing in the year 2020. New merit sources and new rising stars rock!
