I've learned to never attack the cookie banner here on HN. EU citizens seem to absolutely adore them here.

No, it's just counterproductive to attack warning signs instead of attacking the thing they are warning you about.

You can attack both when the people trying to warn you are incompetent. This was an obvious second order effect; if they tell businesses "we don't want you to do this, so you can't unless you put up a sign" it should never be a surprise to see signs sprouting up on the landscape.

Teenagers could have predicted this was the likely outcome.

Whoever wrote it was either incredibly incompetent in not predicting this outcome or intended this outcome.

See?

I see you being deliberately antagonistic and strawmanning an opinion you disagree with.

I will never understand "I said $dumb_thing and the fact everyone downvoted me for saying $dumb_thing proves that $dumb_thing is right!"

That's the same logic cookie banner lovers are using in this very post. I am just matching that energy.

Have you really not noticed how defensive and antagonistic cookie banner supporters become when people say anything negative about it?

Don’t bully them, they’re just a little slow in the head.
