They're probably the current champions in how to make opting out of tracking cookies maximally inconvenient. Although to their credit they at least seem to remember my choices instead of sneakily reverting back to "accept everything" after a while.

I don't - and it seems millions more people have turned away too, given the precipitous drop in their audience and valuation. It was just in this case I didn't notice the link was to tumblr before I clicked on it.

How else would I read this particular post?

Also it's not like Tumblr was like this when this post was, er, posted. It was pretty nice to browse.

They may claim that, but I don’t think it makes them GDPR-compliant. IMO, it’s in conflict with https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-32/:

”If the data subject’s consent is to be given following a request by electronic means, the request must be clear, concise and not unnecessarily disruptive to the use of the service for which it is provided.”

and https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/consent/:

”The withdrawal must be as easy as giving consent.”
