Hello, new bitcointalk user, been around on this site for around a year or so, just never decided to create an account. I’ve seen people with tons of merit! But yet I have not a single clue on how to gain any, whilst people have thousands! Pretty much a newbie when it comes to posting 
. But any help works, thank y’all!
Merit will come to you after you start to focus on making posts that are useful for users on this forum and you will start to focus on making good posts when you start to calm your mind about how to get Merit quickly. It is better for you to enjoy your learning process in extracting insights and sharing any insights you have gained with users who need these insights in this forum. Because that's how discussions work. Namely in helping solve problems and providing each other with solutions and insights.. But any help works, thank y’all!And actually, several tips to make it easier to get Merit have been shared a lot on this forum, especially in the Beginner and Help sections. Even MS has created a thread about these tips. Or you can search for users who have a lot of Merits, even above 10k Merits. And try to pay attention to how they make posts. And look at the topics they create. Study it and I'm sure it will work.
