I don’t think they should be required to use all of the networks, just the open ones, i.e. no account registration required, easily accessible

Im a web dev and I build almost all of my sites without cookie banner unless they’re really required (YouTube embeds, invasive tracking etc) and when I don’t include a banner, people usually think I forgot it.

It’s a shame that most people think the internet just has to be crap now and every site needs some dark pattern banner to track its users.
