GDPR requires money to comply if you weren’t already compliant, yes - and at the extreme, it might even kill your business completely if your business isn’t gdpr compatible. But that’s a transient effect.

It is similar to an ordinance saying “starting tomorrow, you may not dump your sewage in the sea”. It might cost you to get proper disposal services, and if your business was about disposing to the sea, you’ll probably have to close shop.

But new houses wont dispose to the sea in the first place. And it will be better for everyone.

GDPR sure.

But link tax and upload monitor? How do you avoid that? Never link to anything and never allow any uploads? What about comments, they could contain important excerpt from some book owned by EU publishers.
