That is something I really don't understand, they and a bunch of other sites seemingly implemented this thing for GDPR compliance. However it's not at all GDPR compliant if you have to opt out. If they are going to violate GDPR anyways then why bother at all?

In order to associate the GDPR in people's minds with pointless inconvenience, so as to make future regulation along the same lines less likely.

If nobody can enforce the existing regulation, what is the point of future regulation?
