I hate popups that can't be dismissed. But reader mode works regardless, at least.

There are a number of ways to demonstrate that you are not doing business in the EU and thus do not have to comply with the GDPR and can refuse tracking-free access.
But yes, I do see that Atlas Obscura does do that. On their privacy policy page, I find:
> The Website is hosted in the United States and is intended for and directed to users in the United States. If you are accessing the Website from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws, please be advised that through your continued use of the Website, which is governed by U.S. law, this Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Use, you are transferring your personal information to the United States and you consent to that transfer.
But I guess that we'll see. I'm sure that complaints have been lodged.
While there are many companies that have chosen to try and block users in the EU, I don't think this is required, or intended by GDPR.
No, it applies to "data subjects who are in the Union" (art. 3 - "Territorial scope"), not from the Union.
(This is for non-EU data processing organizations; the EU-based organizations/companies must apply the GDPR to everyone in the world)
