Anyways I think that “pay or consent” model isn’t that bad. You either pay with your data or your money. Seems fine to me though pay only would be better. Everyone is used to getting everything online for free. It has to change now imo. The internet isn’t a bunch of hobby forum projects anymore. The price of running a popular website is big and idk if privacy-respecting ads can give enough profit at this point.
You can show ads without tracking and keeping users their right to privacy, right? I think it’s different selling user data than having some ads on your website.
Only in the EU.

You can but, as I said, it’s much less profitable.
