This is an interesting concept. Surprised I have not come across one of your posts prior to now. I just happened to be wandering through the contest tag and found this.
You're creating your own custom booster front running with manual votes. And somehow, managing to make it work for everyone. We get curation benefits for coming in first, you get the value of our early votes on top of what the bot brings in. It's pretty genius really. Who is going to complain about it?
Nicely done. Interested to see how the curation rewards work out.
