Oh noes! Software is so fucking evil!
This isn’t any different than you trying to buy a stock, the big guys having sniffers on the purchasing accounts, stopping your trade momentarily, swooping in and buying thousands of shares to drive up the price, so that when your buy goes through you’re actually buying it a higher amount. Then they sell immediately after and pocket that revenue. How that is legal is beyond me, but it is and the little guy gets screwed millions of times a day.
