The more tricky and clicky it is, the more shitty the people behind are. This is the lamest way (to try) to bypass rules and therefore pretty insulting to their audience. First contender: Arstechnica.com from Condé Nasty cult.
“Oh, the regulation say we must tell the users why we need cookies and provide how to opt out… mmh but we need those shit, let’s find a way to stay compliant but discourage the opt-out in the most sonOfbitchWay.”
Even, TheVerge and other from Vox Media sphere, which I thought were the nastiest, have changed it back to a simple consent or do not consent button.
ASstechnica likes to play the SJW, rights defensers, criticizes celebrieties or shitty on twitter but with their cookie maze consent shit containing a 100ish of advertisers (that you have to disable one bye one), they are litterally the worse BSiter ever.
So of course, I pass on but not without telling the fediverse how hypocrite this site/company is.
hero point +1 :P
of course, but it doesn’t act on this shitty pop-up. I don’t look for clearing cookies, but auto reject these cookies consent modals.
Have you tried enabling the “annoyance” filters of ublock? A lot of stuff isn’t activated by default.
