I couldn’t even get to the paywall - their cookie consent dialog was halfway off the screen and I couldn’t click “reject”

Protip. 90% of the time if you disable JS completely in your browser, that prevents the cookie dialogs. Sometimes prevents other annoyware too.

My fav are the ones where you can click "Accept all", or "More Options..." and the Options path goes to like 50 pages of confusingly worded separate options that'd take 20 min to figure out them all. Asshole design.
