What is front-running in crypto?

Front-running: A bot sees a wave of buys coming and buys before it, to sell to those buyers at a higher price.

Bots watch famous influencers' posts and new transactions. The moment a call appears they buy with a higher priority fee, get in before the people who just read the post, and sell to them within the same minute. The call looks great on the chart, but most followers buy the top.
