            It’s not that it just takes time, or that it’s unnecessary, it just takes unproportionall much time compared to what you get out of it. It can be powerful to have an opinion, but you can’t have 1000s of them per day. And if you don’t have facts they’re just emotions.
I want to start some movement for embracing and making sites without cookie popups (which means sites that don’t collect unnecessary user data). But since not showing a popup is a statement you don’t notice (because that’s the point!) I don’t know how to do it.
Instead of complaining on sites that show the popup, or trying to change the laws, just make a website that doesn’t collect unnecessary user data. The popup isn’t needed!
Actually, using browser extensions that block cookie popups is bad for the cause, because then you won’t rightfully embrace the popup-free websites and rigthfully penalize the popup-showing websites.
