I agree bid bots are probably here for the long term now so its best to work out ways to manage their use and make the platform fiar for everyone and not just those who have loads of money to throw around. I think there should be some kind of quality control where bot bids should be atleast randomly checking content for quality. I use bots from time to time and have found them fairly effective

My answer is to have an 'organic' trending where bot votes are deducted:
