Thanks guys for your replies... Your points have logic...
It seems, Merit is expensive and I think no one will buy 50,100,200,500 Merits to rank up and if anyone does then it will be identifiable because of repetitive meriting someone's post I guess.
In general, I don't think people will do it because it is both expensive and risky
There are some reasons that why people don't buy huge amount of merits. Huge amount means something from 50 merits and above.
- They will get caught: Merit exchange with huge amount will get caught definitely. Especially if shitposters buy 50 or 100 merits that will be sent to one or some of their shitposts.
- Merit is expensive: In total, buying 100 merits might cost them hundreds of dollar, that makes their account become really expensive. hundreds of dollars to become a Full Member from sratch, shitposts, and shady merit exchange as well as risks of red painted when get caught.
- Risk of get scammed: What will happen if merit sellers ask buyers to send money first, then sellers will go away with money, and buyers won't receive a single merit?
Merit abusers actually did it in early weeks after merit birthday in 2018, but for now, I don't think they will do such merit exchange.
