I can think of lots of strategies for our friend @wang to survive :-)

The bots that are front-running @wang depend on wang voting after them in order to increase the total pot that the article gets.

So all @wang needs to do is switch off his bot for a week, and curate by hand. The posts he was upvoting suddenly get less reward. Meanwhile wang is building a new portfolio of authors that he can single-handedly catapult into the big time.

Those bots that monitor everything wang votes for will get confused too - which of the hand curated authors will wang finally fix on when he switches his bot back on? Those who aren't monitoring who wang is voting for (by assuming his old list was fixed) will get stuffed.

But no matter the outcome, a new bunch of authors get discovered and wang gets his curation profits back! The beauty of this platform from wang's point of view is there are so many good authors to choose from.
