With respect, this is a bad take. If you make a law that requires businesses to annoy users in order to access their primary source of revenue, that's exactly what you'll get. Incentive structure matters, enforceability too.

I want to get rid of all this crap as much as @MissIG_Geek does. Consentgating it is a terrible way to get there. Unless there is a way to be competitive entirely under legitimate interest (and there really isn't) you're going to get the hellscape we got.

That was 100% predictable. To get results, we need outright prohibition of the worst stuff, technology that enforces purpose limitation, and the means to deliver ads without bad UI requirements.
