That link didn't work for me (returned a 403), apparently it's just a weird YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7DQ3SgSg0c&t=175

...to avoid tracking I should click on a sketchy download pop-up?

"Sketchy download popup"? Not sure what you're talking about. I see no such popup (nor any popup/modal/interstitial/ad/interruption of any sort) on either site I linked. Viewed from two different OSes and browsers.

iOS Safari, I get a popup that says "Do you want to download 'watch'?"

Hrm, strange. Tried on iOS and didn't encounter that. However, the fact it's trying to download "watch" (which is the path of the page in the URL) leads me to suspect there was a server issue that caused it to return the page as a file instead of actually serving it as a normal HTML page. /shrug
