Yes I agree @craig-grant. I touched on this below, but wanted to respond to you as well

Maybe a bot could give a feed of suggestions and the decision to vote could be left up to a real human. A blending of an algorithm that takes into account your values - discussion, creative comments etc. and interests and then places it into a feed next to the one for those you follow could be an interesting idea.

But I think we should not try to get into "bot wars" where someone will try to tweak a bot to vote .00001 seconds faster than person b's bot, when the content may just be an average post by a highly valued user. No one person deserves every post to do well.
