I'm sure there are still some people willing to report the websites to EU commission, it's a guaranteed fine (less so a paycheque, I have no clue if the company has to comply with paying it (unless later on they want to expand to the EU))

This is a fine that the EU can issue but why would the local business care? If I was issued a fine by the US, China, India or Japan it would directly go to the trashbin. It is their law, and their problem, not mine. Of course this means that I will not be able to do business there, if I travel I may be in trouble etc. But again - we are talking about small local newspapers (and similar businesses).

  between the options of: A. [re-]architect in in GDPR compliance; B. deal with incoming legal documents, likely can't just discard; C. block country representing tiny share of viewership, option C seems to present the least hassle

    Option D: ask a local lawyer once (100 USD or so) and they will confirm that the business can trash such foreign requests and be done. Not sure whether C or D would be more complicated long term (you need to manage the geoloc somehow, or outsource and pay for the service)

      Additionally, it shows traveling US-based customers that you care about them.
