I thought I had heard from a number of people that GDPR could still bite
people in other countries. I don't remember the how, just that it could
be done.

I agree with your logic.
However your valid logic is contrary to my understanding.
I've seen reference to too many entities that don't have a presence in
the EU that are doing things like blocking EU access to websites
specifically because of GDPR.
I don't have details on /how/ GDPR applies or /why/ people in the US are
running scared of it. But I've seen many references to people doing
exactly that.

This could be but it's quite a widespread problem.
E.g.
If I go to:
https://www.nydailynews.com/
or
I get:
https://www.tribpub.com/gdpr/nydailynews.com/
?
Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European
countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at
options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU
market. We continue to identify technical compliance solutions that

TBH mostly I neither know nor care. Occasionally I click a link and
get a blanket "sorry, no" message.
Also applies to lots of Youtube videos: I just get a "video
unavailable" message.

If a company (or its owners if not shielded from liability) has any assets
in the EU they can be seized (up to 4% of the company's total value) for
violating GDPR. Apparently, Lee Enterprises has assets in Europe, and
doesn't want to spend the non-trivial time, effort and expense (or lost
revenue) to achieve compliance.

Definitely something funky with the website. I ended up doing a quick select-all,

I bought some equipment from PhoneCo in person back in the 90s when antique
phones were still holding their value and even then the experience was, to
put it politely, a real mess. Crumbling buildings, piles upon piles of
dusty, busted up surplus phones. Truckloads of equipment sitting out in the
elements. Finding a buyer today will be a challenge, to say the least. -C

is a nice browser for any number of other reasons too.
