Nah let them cook.

We had our time and chance with the internet, now it's just a platform for exploiting and dividing people

Now the bots can do this at scale and poison the world’s biggest source of information. Killing the distribution of information and stealing your data at mass scale as well!

Great solution!

I was just saying that dogs have it made. They just play with a fluffy toy for a few minutes and their teeth are clean. Meanwhile we shove a spikey stick into our mouths and try to polish our teeth. I want a fluffy toy to chew on too.

To be fair a dog needs their teeth for less than a quarter of the time we need ours, and we generally feed them far less sugar than we feed ourselves.
