"It wouldn't surprise me that improving people's health this way actually slows down the ageing process,"
largely to no avail
Great news. It's insane how few people seem to care about the damage occurring from overpopulation.
General poor health has been increasing. Obesity rates and rates of lots of other conditions have all been increasing. It can't all be due to microplastics.
Think they would be able to make some sort of artificial FMT
We're a long way (many decades) off from that. This blog goes into more detail with references: https://www.humanmicrobes.org/blog/stool-donors-one-in-a-million-ai-funding-potential
One of which is this page that shows the severe limits of current knowledge: https://humanmicrobiome.info/testing/
More antibiotics is not the solution. We need to be moving away from antibiotics, and drastically decreasing their use/overuse.
Where are you hosting this? Hetzner has very good prices. I'm running multiple websites (including a forum) on a $5/mo server, using Centmin Mod.
I agree with the other suggestion to put up a link to Open Collective payments or another similar one. There are lots, if you need I can list some.
Oh my god, this is horrible news. Reddit is a horrible website and only getting worse. OpenAI promoting them and using their garbage content to train their AI systems is alarming. This is so dystopian.
And of course it always leads back to money:

Yes, I definitely expect the human lifespan and health span to continue to increase as the science of longevity advances.
Great news. I'm looking forward to living in a world with less than a billion people.
Yes, phages are the natural "antibiotic"/population control for bacteria. https://humanmicrobiome.info/#bacteriophages-phages
Antibiotics can make phages go extinct. https://humanmicrobiome.info/antibiotics/#virome
Phages were being researched as an alternative to antibiotics, but antibiotics seemed easier and cheaper, so they grew in popularity and use. Unfortunately, antibiotics come with pretty severe collateral damage.
