Fact: Dark Matter being made of particles that do not interact electromagnetically not only has overwhelming evidence in its favour, but is also a rather simple and elegant solution mathematically. All approaches that try to modify gravity instead fail to explain our observations and require huge amounts of curve fitting and ad-hoc rationalization.

Reminder that modified gravity is shit at explaining the properties of galaxy clusters like the Bullet Cluster

Bring me some dark matter, I'll test it personally, to verify your claims.
If you're right, I'll give you $1000.

When you create a model that fits observational data better than dark matter, I'm fairly sure you'll get more than 1k dollars
