These merit farming spammers have been originating from your local board as well and its getting very tiring as you may have noticed from the WO thread which is one of the most tolerant places there are.

Just saw this now. The thing that gets me the most about the WO merit farmers is that they are missing out on the opportunity to improve their lives through learning about bitcoin; instead they are learning the art of how to suck up to merit sources, or more particularly, the ones they know will give them merits. So nobody actually learns anything of value and we get a lot of contrived, insincere low-effort posts. And so long as WOers keep giving them merits, they'll never stop.

Stuff like this makes me sad for humanity:

Breakfast paid for with #bitcoin    🧡

Form: Twitter

Why?

1. Its not their breakfast.
2. Its an exact copy of a Lina Seiche tweet, with the extra characters between "bitcoin" and the heart emoji because the BTC logo wouldn't paste.
3. They couldn't even bother to link the tweet or spell "from" correctly.
4. The poster has already been caught cheating in bounties with other accounts that have been banned for ban evasion.

I get it, life is hard in some parts of the world, which is exactly why people seeking to financially benefit from the forum should be using it as an educational resource instead of treating it as a merit accumulation game. Regardless, you are more likely to get merits if you can demonstrate original thought inspired by education on relevant topics. With 99% of the farming posts, you're just wasting your time and ours.
