   PSA: Please remove URL trackers from YouTube links before sharing
   YT adds strings of code to the end of web links so it can collect data such as what account sourced the video, who then clicks on it, webcrawlers can link public accounts sharing it...
   Find & remove a URL tracker from a link:
   If you have a long link & there's "?si=" in the middle, that's the beginning of the tracker. Remove the ?si= & all the subsequent numbers, letters & symbols after it. The cleaned link can be shared normally 😊

     @Kitty You shouldn't be linking to the proprietary JavaScript on youtube.com as that is instructing the execution of proprietary malware.
     
     You should link to the video on an invidious instance like https://yewtu.be/ instead.
