You’re straw-manning ads against personalised ads. There’s nothing stopping sites from targeting ads in ways that don’t require the processing of personal information (as your example, HN, already does).

As I wrote in my response to pif above [1] it's pretty likely that the GDPR also requires consent for detecting ad fraud, without which advertising isn't practical on most sites.
