This should be temporary. The popups are basically just dark patterns. Once there has been a few fines for sites using dark patterns, it will hopefully be better. These fines though have to be making a proper example, using all the available opportunity to impose penalties.
We need to see a few proper company-ending fines dealt before it gets better. If a couple of massive sites are wiped off the face of the internet for using a generic pre-packaged cookie wall, that should (hopefully!) scare everyone into compliance.
Cookie questions should be unobtrusive and single click to be without tracking, never limit the service provided (no “we need to show tracking ads to pay the bills”).
