I don't know either, because in my opinion merit is an award given when readers feel interested, happy and relevant to your post. if you can't do that maybe your merit will remain 0 forever. but what I regret is why people keep talking about merit, even though that's not the essence of this forum, right? Nowadays I notice that people make merit their main goal and deify merit. so sad. For me, merit is nothing more than likes on Facebook.
