I've noticed that some accounts take different approaches when sending merits. Some might check the account profile first before sending, while others focus solely on the post and send merits based on their judgment.
Some is based on account reputation too
Personally, there’s nothing wrong with whichever method you prefer, but I'm curious, and I'm sure many others, especially newbies, would like to know some tips. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, especially from merit sources and those who consistently give and receive merits, even if they aren’t merit sources. Newbies are also welcome to share their thoughts here----this is an open discussion for everyone!
Personally, there's no specific pattern I use in meriting a post. Sometime, it can also depend on my mood and how I enjoy the post. Among many creteria or factors that influence my merit sharing, checking of profile can not be part of it.
I have noticed how merit sharing has reduced to some noticeable extent in the forum for quite some time now. Don't really know if it's due to lack of contributory conversation or the absence of some notable merit sources that are yet to be replaced.
