Not perfect but much much better than before. I can give you two personal examples of how even small stuff that used to be ignored now demand attention:
I installed a game that had a bug (opt-in to tracking wasn't working so tracking was always on). Lots and lots of users complained in the game developers forum but nothing happened. Not even a reply. I and a few others wrote emails to the support mail and nothing. Then I threatened with GDPR months later and two days later support was on my case and my data was deleted from both their system and the third party they used for tracking.
Here in Denmark businesses aren't allowed to receive updates from the CPR registry (like SSN) if you aren't a customer anymore. It's used for stuff like banks automatically getting your new address if you move. Historically sending mails to those that didn't remove you from their updates didn't do anything. Now they run quickly as soon as they read "GDPR".
There are big businesses that get away with things they shouldn't but by far the most problems can now be resolved, even small stuff that big businesses before didn't lift a finger to fix where the little man had no chance in hell. Now they (we!) do.
