Would you rather?: Fully anonymous internet, but it's filled with AI Bots OR Real ID Verification but zero Bots?

Yes I know this is a false dicotomy, but this is "a pick your poison" type of thing. Which do you think is the lesser evil?
The former, no question.
How much filled with bots are we talking?
Say like 90% - 99% depending on the day and on the mood of few humans left... depending on if they feel like going online or not.
Are these nice bots? Or just pure spam.
They mimic humans but you know 90% or more are in fact bots
Like Reddit
Option 3: Turns off internet and goes outside to touch grass.
I’ll take one of each, please, and the anonymous one is the one we ban kids from but they go on any way when their parents aren’t looking.
Oh fuck no, you want to trap kids who are in a bubble of abuse and religion even more? The anonymous internet is basically the only way they have to get out of that, and you want to take it away from them?
I think it's sarcasm lol
with anonymous internet there is at least a chance of having something decent. With id enforcement its like having someone looming over you ALL THE TIME. At that point might as well just not have internet at all.
Haven't we already got the latter part of the first option?
That's what happens if you don't choose the lesser evil, you get both evils.

Real ID please. In all other channels every one knows who you are, why not on social media?
Real ID (with no need for these ugly verification services). Because we all need to get real again.
