I am with you and try to play their game and be on the right side of the trend but that is ofcourse not always possible and becomes more like gambling then investing.
I have been in the stockmarket before the bots where part and parcel of the ASX and have to say, that I prefered it that way.
In the meantime we all have to find a way to work around it as its the big money that make the rules in town.
