Miners don't pick themselves.

All done by algorithm. I have a feeling its based on transaction price, but I could be wrong.

Ya, it's based by transaction fee but pools still can pick different transactions. Thats how different transaction accelerators work ( like this one https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ ). They are just setting a minimum transaction fees to acclerate only good ones.

the miner turns on their machine... and sends their hashrate to a place and they pay if his hashrate is high enough and he is there long enough... he dont pick and chose transactions , all a miner knows is how to turn on a machine and leave that machine running and nothing more!

So you need to wait for a certain amount of time until a miner decided to pick your transaction out of all of those sitting around in the mempool.
How do miners actually decide and pick? Do they browse through the mempool online and pick transactions they like, or is it done automatically by an algorithm.
