It's so wild to me that people tolerate this. I just close the tab or 'reader' whenever I see that type of thing, but I know very few others who do the same.
I mean, if a website claims to have tens if not close to a hundred "legitimate interest" cookies I'm reasonably sure they are living of wildly invasive ad tracking. I immediately close these websites just as you do.
It would be swell if more of the web was made by passionate people to share knowledge for free. I know this is a privileged attitude as creating content takes time which is not free. But some of the best web sites are the ones without monetisation. We need a better monetisation system for the web that is based on people paying for content instead of people being sold as user data.
