Have you ever tried not pressing "Agree" on the cookie consent, at PC Gamer?
It seems impossible - the dialog pops out every single page surfed, regardless.
For example, if you press "More Options -> Save & Exit".
No game suggestions, friend requests, surveys, or begging.
No Let's Plays, streams, highlight reels/montages, random videos or shorts.
No off-topic posts/comments, within reason.
Use the original source, no clickbait titles, no duplicates.
(Submissions should be from the original source if possible, unless from paywalled or non-english sources.
If the title is clickbait or lacks context you may lightly edit the title.)
Can't remember for PC Gamer, but when popups pester more than help, I hide them with Ublock Origin, or simply disable JavaScript for the domain.
There is also pre-made blocklists for uBlock Origin for Cookie Banners, which you judt have to turn on.
Combine with e.g. Cookie Autodelete to automatically remove cookies, and it's effectively as if you declined.
