Hi - one thing to be aware of, is that Google can't read content behind a paywall, so it won't get indexed.
Therefore, you either need a well-established reader base or a different source of traffic for people to find it.

What's the preferred method of GDPR compliance these days?
I asked because the WP GDPR Compliance plugin isn't coming up when I search. There is a plugin called Cookie Yes that seems to cover both GDPR Compliance and GDPR cookie policy and seems to be widely used, but the recommendations from these old trainings don't seem to be available.

As I said below, I use CookieYes ... so if you have an questions on that, feel free to ask.
