If you want people to do the right thing, it has to be easy, or it has to pay off. GDPR is incredibly hard, and it's costly.

Just knowing what I need to do requires me to wear my lawyer hat. Actually doing it requires me to wear my developer hat, or to pay other people a monthly fee.

I will eventually move to another solution, but it has an infinitely lower impact on my users than the problems I help them solve.

I will switch this because I swore to do the right thing [1], and because I have a lot of time on my hands. I can't reasonably expect amateur bloggers to do the same. It's an unreasonable burden on people who don't run a website for a living.
