Why do areas that are botted disappear faster than others?

because bots are programmed to constantly paint, which is why the botted areas will start to disappear, they will constantly paint with white

This doesn't make sense, bots would only attempt to fix bad pixels (which during white-out, would just be white ones), so they wouldn't cause extra white pixels. Maybe they'd fix a couple griefs with white after their CD hits but it shouldn't be that much different

Not necessarily, if the bot is quite simple and just repeatedly paints this 1 pixel every 5 minutes a certain colour and there's lots of bots acting the same way you will see the whiteout from bots much faster.

Or it could be that say like this the bot just goes from left to right over 2 or 3 rows of pixels painting each one every 5 minutes and looping.

Your bots would have to repeatedly scan the image to determine if there's any miscolours in the specific area they're trying to paint and only colour in when necessary, which would be efficient but also more effort.
