So now the question itself: Do you pay attention to those users who never send anything to anyone when sending them a merit or you don't care, the main thing is that the post is useful.
I send merit to post, not user.8 - 4 - 2 - 1 = 15 merits
Math is interesting thing, assuming that you have 20 merits:20 - 10 - 5 - 2 - 1 = 38 merits
but, if you decide to merit 10 users with 2 merits:
2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 = 30 merits
