For example, I don't see members getting merit on the altcoin discussion board, it's rare.
The problem is the posts in Altcoin Discussion are so atrociously bad that merit sources (for the most part) don't go there anymore. So there may indeed be a few informative, substantive posts being added to that section every day, but they are sandwiched between heaving loaves of shitposts, in shit topics about nothing, so nobody will ever seen them.
I actually remember a time when there was loads of interesting stuff in Altcoin Discussion. And every once in a while I necromance such threads for the sake of adding some new context. Frequently I'm surprised at how good posts there used to be compared to what they are now.
How ironic.

Back in the good ole days, when uncle nutty used to be a incessant shitcoiner, the shitcoiner talking points "used to" result in better posts; however, these days, shitcoiners have gone downhill, they are no longer of such higher quality and they no longer know how to talk good.
