How to Get Around GDPR?
I want to avoid compliance as much as I can. What are the ways I can comply with letter but not the spirit of it? I am most interested in ways to refuse service to people who do not accept but others corners I can cut as well.
Don't do business in the EU. As a local citizen, your question makes me believe that it won't be a loss for me as well, so everyone is happy.
Make people login on you service to be served. Those interested in privacy won't bother, and even if they do, you can get your metrics without cookies.
So now HN is used to ask for shady business practices.
Just don't do business here, we couldn't care less.
What's wrong with letting people opt in, rather than forcing them to opt out?
If you're that vehemently against complying with the GDPR, then block visitors from the EU.

Either you don’t do business anymore with Eu users or any user on Eu territory (but how do you know there are not actually on Eu territory), either you try to automate it so you continue to “not care about it”
There are 60 countries with GDPR-like regulations so you can't avoid it anymore. Even USA are preparing a federal bill, so you'd better get ready for that rather than trying to fake it.
Don't operate here, simple as.
