I literally go "Oh, OATH, never mind." Same here. But then I also started skipping Medium links for their obnoxious 'let's make it official' sheets. And as far as I understand, Oath is indeed not compliant with the GDPR, because the default action should be to not permit tracking (opt-in rather than opt-out). But IANAL. It would be nice if link aggregation sites such as Hackernews or lobste.rs provided a flag to indicate whether a linked page can be read immediately or requires clicking through overlays of any kind, so that those of us who are not interested in that crap can just skip those links. It would be nice if the web could just return to being hyperlinks between pages of text. Just don't track by default.
