Quite frankly, I'm sick of all the FUD or what-ifs, but it reliably happens in every GDPR thread, so thank you for jumping in and refuting this. There doesn't seem to be actual evidence that people with non-scummy business practices have been fined, or would be - like the hypothetical indie dev. I suspect the hardest part is actually finding an ad network that is GDPR compliant, and coming to terms with that you can't just embed every shitty tracking and "analytics" framework into your app. As a consumer, this still all seems like a win to me.

Of course the indie dev wouldn't be fined. These regulations are meant to be used selectively. Essentially, you're encouraged to break the law because everyone else on your level is doing the same. Then you just hope you're not the one that's made an example of. >As a consumer, this still all seems like a win to me. Of course, because you won't notice that Europeans can't compete. You'll just use the Chinese/American apps instead, because those can afford to compete.
