RE: Bots can vote for reputation, “follow the money” and follow the crowd.
more rewarding, slightly more risky, fun and fair.
This also potentially has the “jackpot effect”
I'm not sure about this. It is certainly possible it could be perceived that way, but I also think people like immediate feedback and the excitement of watching in real time as a post (especially one they posted, discovered, or helped discover) gains votes and rewards.
Upvoted anyway for thoughtfulness and writing it up.
Now it may be fun for a few to watch their posts do well, for the majority perhaps its a bit of a let down.
The anticipation builds for the end of the countdown.... then the big reveal....for poster and discoverers alike... and then follows a flurry in real-time as bots fire and bandwagons are loaded up... everything is real-time thereafter.
