i liked how the reddit popup had nothing to do with cookie consent and the second site didnt have any popups at all - author could have cherry picked a bad example but for some reason gave us this?

I mean... I just recorded a browsing experience? It's the entire experience in general that sucks imho, regardless of cookie consent popups or not.

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

[mmazzarolo]

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.

It's also a great example as to why the web is as annoying as it is. It sounds like a lot of people here are mad because you called out the EU but realistically your video is a great example of the modern day web and it's awful.

Well, it‘s fairer than cherry picking the most outrageous examples. Though I wonder if he didn‘t get any Reddit cookie banners because he had already accepted them at some point in the past.

For me this was about how seeing the terrible UX due to ads, cookies, tracking but also bad UI in the case of reddit.

If not for EU law the result would have been displayed inline immediately.

The Reddit one is just because of Reddit, not cookie consent.

[whimsicalism]

You would never have to see that with American Google because the answer is displayed inline

No mention of the dramatic difference between certain news websites not having intrusive pop ups due to GDPR. Which should be mentioned any time this debate pops up.
