> The struggle to make a merit worthy topic seems difficult, and discouraging, like for example a newbie carefully comes up with a good topic, no merits! Lots of replies , then somewhere under the replies some members merit replies, still the main topic started isn't merited 💔.
It's somewhat discouraging.
Indeed it’s so discouraging, I will advice you stop taking merit distribution personal because if you view the merit system in such manner you might feel hurt always for example few of those post the op never received a merit it’s either op asked a question and when people try to answer or solving a problem they get merit in return. It doesn’t necessary have to be a question also, the context of a written article matters a lot because creating a topic don’t only determine if you’ll recieve merit in return.
If you think a topic is merit worthy and you're able to give merits, do so to encourage others.
You’re just being honest, merit distribution can’t be done forcefully I guess anyone can share their merit base on an agreed opinion, quality, etc. focus more on reading you’ll understand how merit system works but, in the search of merit I hope you educate yourself more about the forum and bitcoin.
