I would be really happy if I knew the method to earn a lot of merits in a day like this.
Bro is it really hurting you for not getting any merits from any easy way? Well here's a pro tip for you - merits aren't easy to get. If you can't express your talent, your contribution on forum IG you're not worthy to get a merit.
Although I won't disagree with you at some points, lots of user gets extra benifit to have a merit source to their own local board. Wish you best of luck bro.
