Sorry off topic, but I clicked the "Manage" option on the cookie consent banner to find out there are 86 "Necessary" cookies that are required on the site, then almost 200 more optional cookies I can choose to opt out of. Talk about bloat, seems completely ridiculous.

Talk about bloat

The 84439th rule of messageboardclub is we do not talk about bloatclub.

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

What's worse is how they do it on mobile. Usually there's just a button to only accept the necessary cookies, but I just kept scrolling and scrolling and they just kept giving me more and more options to toggle off eventually gave up, deciding that I cannot view the article.
