Users sign up here thinking they will make "Easy $$$"™ by joining up to campaigns and making a few posts/tweets etc... only to find that newbies can't join campaigns... and then they discover they need "merit". Suddenly, they realise that their "Easy $$$"™ quest has turned into an "arduous" ordeal to try and get 1 merit point.
And then the inevitable "It's impossible for Newbies to get merit/rank up" type thoughts and posts start.
I guess it has something to do on who and how they are invited in this forum, let me give you an example a friend on facebook posted something about a Cryptocurrency project or ICO in his Facebook feeds, a friend asks him about the project, then he told the friend that he is participating in a social media bounty campaign and he is going to receive a portion of the token from the project that he can trade in the market and it will cost hundreds or thousands of dollars I have so many friends like this in some of my social media account.
And the friend will sign up here thinking that he can earn thousands of dollars doing those simple things and then he found out the truth and it's game over for him.
