Why does the disclaimer on the webpage ask for permission to track my location?

So sad if you want valuable information and want to learn you gotta be subject to pay walls, tracked, cookies slapped, and a million ads. Wikipedia is under appreciated.

I wouldn't say wikipedia is underappreciated. A ton of people use it daily for information and was even when absolutely anyone could change pages.

5-10 years from now... Maybe? A lot of young millennials and gen z are using TikTok for information oddly.

All I’m sayin is sometimes I just want to learn and not dig though a cacophony of ad videos there is not much online that isn’t profit seeking. Guess I just gotta pick up a damn book instead 🙃
