I find it weird how many people actually blame GDPR for cookie banners. I mean, yes. I think they should have probably written the law a little bit better to avoid this situation. But malicious compliance is a thing in many laws.

I also hate how many websites are trying to blackmail me now with "pay or we use your data"
