Or Europeans will have to do with paygates and subscription fees. There is no "making due". These companies are run very thin already. There is already much less talent, much less pay, and much less quality than most of us would want. There is a breaking point for providing free content on the internet, and so many publishers are hitting it today WITH TRACKING. So many sites have moved to a X free per month with subscription, or just hard paywalls. Enjoy your subscription models, because there is no "making due" left, we've already used it all up.

>Enjoy your subscription models, because there is no "making due" left, we've already used it all up. Fair enough. Sites will either have to provide content worth subscribing to, or else go out of business, and users can still block advertising and tracking and users maintain control over their personal data. It's all win for the consumer.

If that happens, then everyone should be happy. Businesses who don't want to comply with the law can get out of that market and make way for others who do. Consumers have better data protections. Win win.
