Do you have an opinion regarding frontrunning bots at 50% curation rewards?

Yes. From another discussion by @tarazkp where I cannot find the link for the moment we discussed how the leakage to other curators doubles in 50/50. That makes delegators less (even if the bot owner gives back its share, which is already complicated on its own).
So it's very possible that it's enough to have delegators seeking other solutions besides delegation. (Even from simply preferring to curate on their own).
The delegation market is something that is interesting though. I imagine it will also be affected slightly, but it can actually adapt a bit of the person leasing is also benefitting from increased curation. Win win?
What I wonder is if there will be enough demand for the bidbots.
Say if the top buyers were downvoted enough that they ran losses, would they keep buying at the same height? They would likely have to come into lone with something that is acceptable. That means that all other buyers (example a dapp ann) wouldn't have to purchase as much to get up there, plus they might not need to buy at all as a whale or two might support them. This means less large buyers for the bots so the dormant P of delegators would need to be used to maximize ROI. They could sell at a wider level and lower cost and likely the posts will get flagged less so they will keep buying but, how many new buyers will they need?
If I was buying 300 dollars of votes a day and running a 100 dollar loss on it, I'd likely stop buying quick smart. I have a feeling that with the free flags in play, there might be dormant bidbot SP floating around. This automatically puts more in the pool for authors. While the bidbots could make more if everything else remains equal, they still need buyers and those buyers don't want to incur flags.
Yeah, I think that is going to have a big effect as well, my previous comment was what we brainstormed purely with the 50/50 effect.
