I was just scrolling through my youtube recommendations out of boredom and then suddenly, out of thin air, youtube’s algo comes in with a rare W: The Geoguessr World Cup 2024. This is the sort of entertainment I didn’t know I wanted lol.

I only managed to start watching when the semi-finals were happening and my god, it was way too thrilling than I expected it to be.

    Good find, I had assumed people around here would have uBlock Origin with at least one Annoyances filter on (or similar), this is possible via Firefox mobile as well.

    Here’s an archived link, not sure if that helps: https://archive.is/qHSPD

      I have uBlock Origin but didn’t bother configuring any additional filters. My desktop has consent-o-matic as well I think (which unlike a filter actually auto-rejects the tracking stuff).

      However on a new profile (no extensions) I didn’t get the prompt, and neither did I on chromium. Just checked on windows as well, still not prompt. So it seems to just not prompt on desktop for some reason… I wonder if that means the tracking is disabled or they just auto-consent.
