Tumblr is not any better. No ways to access any page without clicking OK

All of the "Oath" sites are using the same process that makes you go through multiple screens and manually deselect over 100 options. I'm hoping that investigations into them are opened very quickly.

Why do you have the 'right' to access a private server without agreeing to a terms of use?

Well, because GDPR.

They can block the EU entirely (after deleting all data they may have on EU subjects) or implement a compliant privacy policy. This is not. (if you click on the policy link, they will lie that it is in accordance with GDPR, but very clearly it is not).

No, GDPR does not invalidate the personal property rights of the server owner to only allow access to their server under a terms of use.

Sorry.
