If it costs more than zero and you don’t care about euros not visiting your site, it makes sense.

For example if you have ads or external analytics (practically 100% of websites) you need a cookie banner. Best to restrict access than to annoy your innocent users.

My experience only having used old Reddit is that it’s stupidly slow all the time and it goes down at least once a week for me (I’m not looking at it all the time…)

I can’t think of a single website with that many backend problems.

It's 2021 and 80% of the load time is spent generating the page because of slow backend languages such as Python and then 20% of the load time is spent compiling and executing the frontend Javascript. I am sceptical that these improvements will even move the needle.

IIRC windows 9x would instantly bluescreen if you tried to open c:\con\con , probably because of a bug in the filesystem driver.
