And the website reporting it blatantly violates GDPR by making it hard to opt-out from tracking (which should be opt-in or not at all)... We really need to change the way we monetize internet

I suspect that the lawyers of major players (FANG etc), have done their GDPR homework, and they have a handle on what they can get away with.

On the other hand, the web sites a lot of news agencies and smaller players seem to be run by cowboys, and eventually some of them are probably going to pay the price.

Feel free to "opt out" by getting a VPN and putting your browser in private mode.

The browser/os/hardware footprint plus the fact you’re using an VPN allows for your identification even with the private browsing on.

That’s not how it supposed to work. Ask an average Joe to execute these steps and observe the looks on their face.
