I doubt that the intention of this thread was for you or any other member to advertise/promote various launchings so that you can make more money... or maybe scam people (I am not saying that I assessed any of the projects or you in terms of whether they are scams...).
Threads are not advertising/promoting any services or projects. I'm listing all lend/borrow platforms and dex platforms. I'm listing their advantages/disadvantages (deposit insurance, colleteral ltv, centralized/decentralized etc..). Please check my lists.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232853.0If some one messaged to the thread "I want to learn about X platform", I'm adding it to my list too. I didnt got any payments about my reviews. I'm writing all of disadvantages about platforms so they dont need to pay anything for this reviews.
O.k. Thanks for that clarification. I decided to just give you one merit overall, because my sense was that it is much better to use a thread like this to draw attention to the posts of other members or to draw attention to some posts of yours that do not come off as promoting any service or ICO or even to be ambivalent in that direction.
Surely, I am a bit uncomfortable with any posts (whether here or otherwise) that seem to be drawing attention to a member's own posts that seem to be ambivalent in regards to whether those posts are promoting possible services... especially if they are NOT more directly either about bitcoin or bitcoin related... so yeah, I personally am bitcoin biased, too.... and I personally am NOT very excited about lend/borrow services, either since a lot of them have run off with members money in the past.... yet I will concede that I did not read through any of those threads in detail... so maybe some other members are more interested in lend/borrow services and are not turned off by them, like I tend to be.
I will concede that I have previously merited other members (here and other places) who were promoting their own posts, but personally, I tend to be less inclined to merit that kind of promotion of ones own threads approach.... unless it is some content that it is related to bitcoin promotion, and surely other members have their own comfort levels.. in terms of substance, too.
I doubt that the intention of this thread was for you or any other member to advertise/promote various launchings so that you can make more money...
I can't read the posts, but I don't really consider posting here as promoting a service. I don't expect people who read this topic to fall for that. Merit sources should be experienced enough to decide on their own.
When I went to each of those threads, my browser prompted me to translate to English or to keep it in Turkish... so I did not have any problem reading the content... at least the translated version. By the way, I did not really read any details of the contents of those pages.
I was just turned off by the overall tone that I had gotten in seemingly promoting lend/borrow service projects (and maybe it is my own kind of shell shock levels), yet Bthd asserts that he is not promoting the projects, but just pointing them out.
Sorry, if I am using this thread and confusing standards that I tend to attempt to apply that might be confusing and maybe not even very relevant to what other members might do... Of course, you are suggesting that there are likely to be a lot of reasonable variances in terms of what members will do in terms of whether or how to expend their smerits (whether source merits or otherwise)... and in regards to Bthd, I did change my mind to a small degree, at least to send one smerit in regards to his clarification... as you can see above.
So, sure, maybe Bthd is providing a decent service to describe those various services, and the threads that he listed are getting some merits from other members, anyhow... and other members may appreciate the contents of those threads more than I do from my own subjective bitcoin biased viewpoint...which is up to other members if they might like some of the clarifications about some of those lend/borrow services.
