What is the Bittrex Bot that always adds .00001?

[davemanet]

Hi All, anytime I put in a bid, it seems a bot adds .000001 to my bid to outbid me.  What is this?  It's super annoying.  Sometimes I see two bots going against each other adding .000001 after another.

I read that Bittrex is stopping this but when?

 It's not just on Bittrex...

Any sources that states that bittrex will get rid of the bots?

I don't think they can or will be stopped. Like what xhomerx10 said, this doesn't happen only at bittrex, but other exchanges aswell. I'm pretty sure these bots also exist on other mid-big sized markets, even in stock exchanges like Nasdaq.
