I'm not sure how all this is calculated or it is possible but would there be someway to differentiate accounts that are auto/bot accounts, be it bid bots or autovote bots/proxy voting and introduce some sort of tax to it? That way manual curation is favoured, it pays better but you can still do your auto thing if you so choose.

Or could there be some way that votes are weighted higher when done manually versus auto? Just thinking out loud, not sure if this is a practical way of doing this

I always thought it would be cool too on front ends to have votes classification so you can see how many votes are manual vs auto that way you know who is putting in the time to view and vote vs people who just want to "support" your work.
