>Good

I've been seeing GDPR supporters saying that a lot recently. Time will show if it's true. I admit it's possible that removing ads as a revenue model could somehow allow europeans to innovate and discover a superior model but I'm not betting on it.

Thank you Europe for being the guinea pigs, you will either lead the way or hopefully prevent others from making the same mistakes.

Hopefully prevent others... You just admitted you are on a crusade whatever the truth or outcome?

My reading is: if it's a mistake, hopefully other people learn from it. Because usually people only learn from their own mistakes.

Thank you for giving my comment the least charitable reading possible. If that were the case why would I even bother leading with

"you will either lead the way" If a better monetization scheme that ads arises from the ashes of GDPR then I really will have no reason to be frustrated.
