Why doesn't devthedev or whoever is running the show code a counting bot that will pay automatically after a line of writing and spare himself all the hassle.

For signature campaigns? Posts need to be checked and things like that. I was tempted to make a website where signature campaign managers can offer their services, signature campaign owners can go to find a manager, and people who want to participate in a signature campaign can go to find one but I can't be bothered. Even that would only save the log side of things e.g. spreadsheets. Managers are basically a necessity.

A necessity for what exactly? The forum has been ridden with spam scams and drama and people go to learn about bitcoins to other sources of information. The circle jerk is running this shitshow here anyway.

That is kind of true, but Bitcointalk is still quite large and obviously the (mostly casinos) companies/people who want to run signature campaigns find some kind of benefit from it else they wouldn't pay for them. You can't really argue with the money-flow.

#1 what does this have to do with the topic at hand?

#2 if you want to advertise your siganture (as you both do) and/or buy the signature from someone else for advertising purposes it is in your interest to make sure that spam is dealt with. Preferably not by admins. BadBear has been swinging the ban hammer very well, but there will be a point where they are just sick of it and just bad signature campaigns. If you think a bot can handle this you are mistaken. You will need a human to judge the quality of a post in its context (for now). Marcotheminer is using a bot to assist the count, but AFAIK is still doing manual checks. Ndnhc et al. are very strict which posts/users they pay for which is a good development and takes some of the burden from the staff.
