I don't run a side business and I don't collect personal data.

I had 7 hobby projects that very few people used. After I read on the GDPR yesterday, I simply deleted all their databases and apps (without backing anything up) and didn't look back.

I believe in the GDPR and I don't want to become a part of the problem. The lowest friction solution was to just delete stuff I don't deem at all important.

If I am to open a business, I'll cross 100 rivers to be GDPR compliant. And you are correct -- us the techies aren't special, of course.

I only asserted that for hobby projects or projects that are not turning a profit the extra effort is simply not worth it. Nothing more.
