I rarely see opt in GDPR popups, it's typically "accept tracking" or "more options...", the latter seemingly sending you down an infinite rabbit hole. Well, now that I think about it, this might count as opt in, but this is definitely a dark pattern.

This is supposedly not allowed under the GDPR, but we're going to have to wait a while before this is actually tried in court.

  It's not, the consumer advocate in Norway has already released one report on the subject [1, PDF] Pushing all this through the legal system will take some time but the watchdogs in different countries are not sitting idle.

The other thing I often see is an "accept tracking" button, and a tiny "more options" link that just goes to a page explaining how to switch off cookies on your browser. I'm pretty sure that's not OK with GDPR as well.
