I see no issue with opt-in as default (which GDPR requires). Then people can make informed decisions and choose to be tracked, while less technical and privacy-mined people don't get tracked.

I think the grandparent post does a good job describing the problem with it. It's a UX nightmare to the point where it doesn't even accomplish what it set out to accomplish.

You’re not in EU, are you?

Everyone defending GDPR around here should be required to take a one week trip to EU and spend some time online while there.
