It is difficult for someone with your obvious moral scruples to win in a game which is weighed in favour of bad actors. We can only hope that enough bidbot supporters will realise that their behaviour is counter-productive to the health of the platform and the bidbot frenzy will eventually abate.
I think the bots will win but, I am hoping in a changed form and a form that requires and incentivizes more human interactions. I don't know what that will look like yet but, there is a lot of room for trial and error still while the place is forming.
