They don't.
Trivial example: Hacker News looks nothing like Medium.
All blogs on Medium look the same though.
The mainstream web looks the same because it's all gone through the same funnel.
The web is split. You have the oldschool developer part (mostly textmode with the odd showoff project), and the mainstream part (full of GDPR banners, advertisements, cookies, tracking stuff, 10MB page loads, etc).
- paulie_a 8y agoThe GDPR pop-ups are incredibly annoying. The particular website has no obligation to comply with it. Most websites don't need to even give it a thought. It seems to just be a knee jerk reaction yet it is irrelevant.
- paulie_a 8y agoI normally don't complain about downvotes, because honestly who cares. But I am curious why I do get consistently downvoted for simply stating that the GDPR is not relevant for a significant portion of the internet. EU users might not like it. But it's true. Most websites do not need a banner. They can absolutely flaunt compliance without worries.
