Cookie banners have ruined the internet!

I you have to have one I'd suggest it have a Reject All button which makes the banner go away without any further clicks.

Nothing is more soul destroying than having to click several times to make the nonsense go away.

I don't like them as any other tech person, but lets give a credit where the credit is due. Ads and SEO ruined it way more thoroughly than cookie prompts.

This would make for a great blog post: top 10 things that ruined the internet. I nominate generative AI for the version of this post two years from now.
