i don't disagree that bots/bad actors are a problem. but it's futile to call everyone a bot since it shuts down literally all discussion. at this point just accept that the internet is the wild west and act with discretion. it helps when you dissect an idea based only on the idea and not the operator behind it. that's how i've changed my internet usage and it's helped immensely. most of the time it's obvious since bots are dumb or generally made by dumb people. but the smarter more intricate bad actors that argue in bad faith in lieu of being paid or what have you, you'll simply never tell apart since they're just humans. at that point all you have left is your wits and i prefer to train my wits on all kinds of ideas thrown my way and accept the fact that there are a lot of types of opinions in the US (where i live) and that it doesn't mean the person making a point of contention is a bot.
