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.

Skip to Grand Finals (honestly watch the entire thing LOL): https://www.youtube.com/live/Llh4_h-vvKQ?feature=shared&t=26823

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.
