It's speculation but not unfounded. GDPR will absolutely reduce small publisher revenue significantly, so making the leap that it causes a culling is rational.

Only for "niche blogs" that are relied on to generate ad revenue.

I don't know how many those are.

Most blogs I see seem to be run as a labour of love or for content marketing. Anyway, nobody expects to make money directly off the blog.
