That would be a lot of work for an adjudicator considering how many websites and how many offended users. How many adjudicators would we need?
What if the large companies with lots of cash can just pay the fines without impairment to their business? What if they just keep repeat offending?
In paying the fines would this mean websites would have to have to be more transparent regarding who is behind each website? This is assuming they will be paying in real currency (not cryptocurrency).
Who will bank the money recieved from the fines and how will that money be used?

The ban could be a percentage of revenue. For persistent offenders their DNS entries could be banned.

The money raised from fines would pay for the service. Anything left over would be paid to me. :)

Those adjudicators might try to milk the system. There might not be anything left over!
Occasionally the adjudicator could publish a guide for "Things we're always going to say are dark patterns" to make it a bit easier to avoid getting fined.
