The problem is your post is titled to be a hit piece against the EU

Ads, Reddit popup, bad cambridge.org design are experienced by non EU too

A more accurate title like ""Sigh, this is what browsing the web looks like nowadays"" would not have gotten you criticism

Lol. It did, back in the day, with people saying "this is not accurate, since it's only a EU thing".

I'm in Canada and I get the cookie popups all the time as well. I'm glad for the opportunity to explicitly reject cookies, but it's still irritating.
