merit Is like a lottery for a newbie. we just post and hoping that there has to be some bravehearted man who just like that post and give a drop in her ocean, but we still did not get it. he he , dont disappoint my friend , one day maybe our wish became succeed,because hopes make us alive.
Like a lottery? No way. I skimmed over your post history, and in the last six month or so you wrote 4 (four) posts that weren't bounty reports so of course it may feel like a lottery to you, but as long as you keep writing useless posts (and bounty reports are completely useless) you won't get any merit.
As an encouragement you might wanna check this thread
