Despite not trying to fuck over my fellow online users, I do hate the GDPR as well, at least the current implementation. Now every stupid site ask for my ‘consent’. Some are maliciously compliant by taking half my browser view, and there’s nothing in that rule saying they cannot do that; hell, some even take so much space in only leave a sliver of the article just to be petty.

The thing is that most of the consent forms are not compliant. The choice should be Consent and don’t consent in equal style and then additionally a choice. Every form that forces you through a secondary screen is not really compliant.
The problem is that we have an enforcement gap. The rules get enforced by each country and they have limited resources for that. It’s an imperfect system.
