I just do not want to be tracked in random databases. We should not resign on basic decency. This nagware must be stopped either by public pressure or by more regulation.

There was time when spyware was not tolerated. We need to bring that back. This article is doing the opposite. Normalizing spyware while blaming the regulation.

If this nagware is on site that I consider valuable I try to email them about this immoral behaviour. But most of the time it is just reminder that I actually do not need to see the site and close the tab.

Most people do not care they just want to procrastinate effectively without clicking on banner.
