> Now every website has a mandatory popup. Stop spreading this disinformation. It's just the filthy websites that track your every move on the site and then give it to third parties. Would you rather they do that by default, extracting your data before you even notice, without even being able to distinguish the bad actor from the good actor? The problem is that people think it's the cookie banner that's annoying, when it's in fact the very website that has been secretly abusing your privacy, except now they tell you. The people think that agreeing to the tracking banner is a fair transaction because the adtech banner is being disingenuous. It's as if the entrance to a museum requires you to dump one empty battery in the ocean. It's a bit of a hassle but it doesn't cost you anything, and you get to see the museum which is what you want. Except in 90% of the cases the museum is clickbait trash. I mean I agree. No website should use cookie banners. None of them. Increasing fines all around for those adtech fuckheads.
