GDPR adtech complaints keep stacking up in Europe

I initially upvoted this for the first sentence, but then I decided I disagreed with the rest of it.

First, there was the web, and there weren't any ads, and that was just the way things were. Then there were ads on the web, and it got to be unpleasant. Then there were adblockers, and things were good again. Then there were adblocker-blockers, and I stopped visiting sites that used them.

I honestly don't know how you're going to make money out there, but it's not my problem.

I'm not a kook (yeah, I am a kook) but I distinctly remember an Atari Lynx racing game with a Marlboro billboard in it. I remember thinking "wow, video games are going mainstream!" when 13-year-old me saw that, and how this was The Future. Advertising hasn't kept up with me, and I'm 44 years old. That's why I say it's not my problem.
