1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

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.

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.
