I think they are saying GDPR did not ban websites from noisily asking for consent and trying to trick you into giving consent.

Well they did but that is not policed.

For example, giving consent should be the same difficulty as denying it. So one click consent means there must be also one click non-consent. But this is policed very poorly.

I think they should just ban adtech altogether, at least any form of targeted advertising, individual pricing (which is already illegal in many EU countries) and ideally also deep market research.
