Honestly, I don't know. Yes, it's a hack. But it's also an effective hack. Young people don't go to doctors unless there's something wrong with their bodies that reminds them to go.



I don't want to be hacked, and I don't think it's right to manipulate people to get your desired behavior.

And in the past I did not go to the doctor because it was very often a piss poor experience, with piss poor results.


Should we restrict toothbrushes to be only available with a prescription from a dentist to encourage regular cleaning and inspection?

The added burden may also dissuade people from getting either thing in the first place.
