To be very honest, your part of story is kinda relatable with me, and I really can feel your side of the story and appreciate you for your struggle if you are not on BTT but you are here on reputable rank. Yes, It is the fact that people are stingy there, as they share very few merits with each other, although merit sources play a very good role to help their junior members to achieve there next rank. I really suggest you to register again your account there as well.
I have been struggling from one year on BTT and i am very close to Senior member rank there but i never have accepted there in any campaign which pays a good pay rate Once i was selected in a campaign which has too many slots based on FCFS so thats is why i was selected in the ending slot that in result, i got a very low pay rate, but you can assume it as nothing (haha). i was hoping to rank up in the campaign in case any of the above participants leave, i will rank up but no one leave that campaign. I am still hoping to get selected on BTT one day, as I have spent my long time there. Never leave hopes!

The same of mine as yours, my friends used to do work in university days. i asked them what are they doing, one of them suggested me to register account on BTT and he also guided me very well. I also learned a lot from the guidance threads that are available there for the newbie users.
