      As a european, I don’t feel like I’m missing out. If a site has too many ads or popups, I’m inclined to click it away anyways.

      No, it’s sites gatekeeping their dodgy tracking cookie policies.

      US companies don’t want to comply with data protection rules of other territories, so they block our access, just so they can continue their exploitative tracking

      It’s because the EU actually governs the storage and use/sale of personal data. This is the mark of a sketchy company that doesn’t want to comply with basic privacy requirements.

      If you’re in the EU and you see this, it’s probably a good thing, and it means even the US viewers shouldn’t be visiting the site. Because the EU laws aren’t even that restrictive or difficult to comply with.
