It is difficult to rank up because people are greedy with their merits. Even when you make a quality post, they still ignore it and you get nothing. I guess that's why people like us are really not interested in ranking up. I am here first, to learn. I don't care whether I rank up or not.
I would not agree with you,
because 90% of your posts are in Altcoins boards, and even 80% of them are in Bounties, which means that you spent 90% of your time on the forum under the radar of most of those who could potentially reward you with merits. Furthermore, your post history clearly indicates that you came with a completely different intention than to learn, but it is never too late to change the way you approach the forum.
If you think you have posts that deserve to be rewarded with merits, there is also a topic for such requests ->
Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source
I agree. With a little effort, everyone can make progress on the forum.
As you can see, some do not think so, although few think that the problem may be with them, and not with the forum.
