Also when visiting a new site, the last thing on my mind is the cookie popup.

Here the main goal is to get rid of it fast, which more often than not leads to accepting all cookies the site offers. And bad cookie UX ensures that.

I would actually prefer to never see a cookie popup and then deal with privacy another way, if that was an option.

My fast route out is to close the tab. Same for auto-playing audio, distracting animations/video, and other irritations.

So far I don't think I've missed out on anything of significance that way. There are some sites that are useful enough for me to have spent time clicking tens of things, beyond that it turns out that I can live quite happily without the others.
