I'd like to read this article but the GDPR consent collector is broken in so many ways.

What does it mean to select an advertiser? Why doesn't select all work? If techcrunch can display the page to me at first why do I have to give consent still?

Once again, mods don't replace the link to an obvious blog spam article just because it's from TechCrunch.
