For context, this popped up as I went to the youtube homepage. This is absurd. Of course, I have uBlock Origin, so it doesn't matter to me regardless, but there's no way to say no.

No worries! uBlock Origin is still making sure no ads are actually being shown, regardless of if I tell it to remind me in a week or give it my data. But I've never seen this popup before, on any social media platform, I'm very curious if they'll actually ask me again in a week.

If you let the folks know at the uBlock Reddit they will eventually make sure you never see it again. I wish they had a Fediverse presence.
