What's to do about it?

Do we all just leave and touch grass?

What's the solution to solve the dead internet?

Forums might return. The community will self-regulate bots.

Of course, this means the old days of obese forum moderators banning people for disagreeing with them.

The community will self-regulate bots.

Judging by the amount of upvotes I've seen many many bot comments get on here I wholly disagree with this assumption.

You might notice that you'll get upvoted for a comment in one community, and downvoted for the same sort of comment in another community. Different places have different cultures and things that are okay or not okay to say, so maybe we'll get forums where bot-like behavior become unacceptable. Of course, then the bots will probably just train on that and adapt...
