We'll have to keep clicking cookie buttons as long as there are idiots who think that sites can "just" give up tracking (and go out of business because without targeting, internet ads are virtually worthless).

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I'll take an Internet 1/10th (or 1/100th (or 1/1000th)) the size as long as it's not ad-supported.

You know HN is indirectly ad-supported, don't you?
