Okay.
How much is your time worth? How much do you sell it for (also known as wages)?
Could you sign up for Uber, deliver a single rider and make more money with that time than you will ever save by doing this?
It’s less production and more catharsis. And it’s going to cost me an hour of my life in total. This comment took longer to compose than a round of snipping and scraping and I hardly feel bad about that.

Honestly you don't need to cut it open to do this. You can make a very effective squeeze by using the edge of a counter.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a toothpaste tube cut open before let alone scooped out with a tooth brush
They're working smarter, not harder.
I wish I could afford a toothbrush.
