That's the issue with the way that you're thinking OP. One shouldn't be hunting for merit.

See, thats the perfect example of a merit-hunting post. You pretend you are outraged and theres
an issue so you can gain some merit Wink Thats also how the media has been doing it for a while keeping
everyone hooked. They just make up issues and that gets them attention and clicks.

Whether theres an actual issue or not does not even matter because for them its just about their
personal benefit.

You could barely make a thoughtful post on bitcoin future because it will soon get either pushed
back or flooded from all the signature posters.

I have tried asking people to give good, cheap altcoin suggestions and 99% I get replies by
people pushing ETH with always the same type of posts that I have no doubt are auto generated
with text spinners or other text tools, maybe even AI.

I mean I get it, its a pretty significant amount you can make here, when people use several
accounts they can probably replace their job. In some countries maybe even already with just
one account.

Then they can use that to push Merit to their other accounts, or to their friends, so they always
receive Merit back. None of that actually improves post quality ever.

With the continous Bitcoin rise you could be looking at making a small fortune all based on
spam posting. Sure not all make spam posts, but I mentioned the issues and none of you even
has disagreed.

Also you just need to look in the Signature Campaign threads. It shows the people who want to
sign up and they post their merit received in the last 120 days. Its usually like 5 or 10 Merit.
So currently you are looking at 5 years to improve one forum rank.

Like why would YOU merit anyone for a quality post when you can just merit your friends or
your alt accounts? Not a rhetorical question. You think theres no actual issue with that, why?
