I've never had an account on Binance >> totally unaffected by all this.
I had one encounter with Chinese exchanges back when they were faking volume in 2014 and had enough for life.
I used to keep my merits for non-legendaries.
Now only rarely do I find a merit worthy post by non-legends; let alone beginners. What has happened to the WO? Do I sound like a fading boomer if I suspect only the "old guard" is keeping this place interesting?
Maybe this means you have to lower your standards and merit posts that you wouldn't merit a year ago

Treat it like an investment into those newbies. We want them here because statistically the longer they're here the more they learn. The more they know the better they post. The better they post the more merit they get. The more merit they get the more they give.
