Really? HN is the only website I frequent where there is any significant opposition to the GDPR. All social media I frequent, all general-interested news sites I read are universally happy about a crackdown on ads and personal data selling. They joke about the deluge of privacy policy updates, but the jokes definitely make fun of the companies and not of the law.

Think it has anything to do with the HN crowd consisting disproportionately of the tiny minority of the workforce who make a living out of exactly the kind of behavior the GDPR wants to restrain?

And the best jokes where made by those who still have personal memories of the y2k scare. Did you remember to stockpile cash and food?
