I think those living the drama enjoy it and thrive from it, seeing as they haven’t just created a new account where they would be free from it.

duckduckgo is one of the few search engines that doesn’t require javascript to function.
Removes all the fancy stuff and leaves you with search results and nothing else.

theguardian.com works just fine without allowing javascript to run at all, and don’t seem to load the trackers if you deny cookies. I did get a page popup where they pleaded but didn’t force me to subscribe if I allowed the optout domain to run javascript.
