(European)

Most sites have a simple 'Reject All' which I definitely use all the time.

Oath and it's sites are the devil incarnate when it comes to implementation and they deserve to be slapped down.

This is precisely it. It's not that the EU legislation is too restrictive, it's that it doesn't go far enough. Sites like these shouldn't be compliant, users should be prompted with a simple yes/no consent form without any dark patterns.

They are not compliant. The fining machinery is just being started, and it will take a while.
