alt Hacker NewsI would’ve read what the site was about if I didn’t get the most complicated cookie consent modal. Just backed out and won’t be visiting that now.

FWIW I did not see a cookie modal. Most likely it was blocked by uBlock Origin's Annoyances filters. You should give it a try, it fixes a lot of this crap.

Yes, there are _40_ necessary cookies which you can’t deny, 40, like it’s basically an ad in disguise
I usually don't look at the details of the cookies, but this one is insane.
"Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies." Includes: Eventbrite, Google, LinkedIn, Shopify, Stripe, NY Times, and more.
Goodbye.
