- nottorp 4y agoIn my experience only sites that look like local news have told me "oops you're in europe we don't do business with you". Stuff like "the times of Chakahooee, New Hampshire" *. I understand them not bothering, I only randomly - and rarely - reach them because of links on another site. Most sites that do have a global audience have a popup. Sometimes very dark pattern ish, sometimes not. But they bother. * I really hope I just made up that town name.
