You block ads in your browser, why not in your city?

It's not propaganda by ad agencies. Why make it into a conspiracy? There are pretty great tools out there that you can use for websites, such as Google analytics, but the moment you use that you're implementing a cookie banner.

Want to have ads? Cookie banner. Want to have YouTube/Twitter/whatever integration? Cookie banner.

europa.eu has a cookie banner. A website that doesn't even need to pay its own bills!

That's just wrong, you don't need a cookie banner for non-tracking ads.

You need to have a cookie banner to have a third party provide ads, which is the most common way to do ads.

Regardless, I block the ads, but I'm still trying to figure out to block all the dialogs about cookies for the ads I'm blocking.

No, you only need a cookie banner if those third parties collect data.

GDPR doesn't ban having log files with IPs. It requires you think about why you have them, what's in them and how you use them though.
