does anyone know what ?feature=shared does in youtube links and whether it's worth removing it?
You can remove it, it tells YouTube how you got to that video. In this case someone shared it.

Yeah, wikipedia does something similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse?wprov=sfla1
The stuff after
?indicates that the article was shared. I usually don't remove it to let wikipedia have some user stats. -

Thing I find funny is when the url seems to indicate you came from an email or something. Now if I share it, anyone who clicks will also count as coming from an email. Dumass ruining your own statistics

I always do this when I post YouTube links. Be damned if I want to be associated with you lot! (Seriously though, itās a good idea to do)

So annoying to always have to find out how far you can trim a URL before it breaks.
Typically anything after the "?". That's where the parameters live. There are always exceptions.

Everything after the ? can be safely removed
This is usually true but but not always. There's often times when a URL query like that is used to choose the page to load. I believe wordpress does this

wrote last edited by [email protected]There are many URLs that require parameters to load a resource (and arenāt necessarily tracking anything). With YouTubeās non-shortened links (for example), the video ID is after the
?, but is usually (but not always) immediately after.This:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQCan be shortened to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQBut no shorter.
(actually, you can remove the
www.but thatās not relevant for illustrating my point)LOL: thank you Voyager or Lemmy.world for stripping it even from my inline code.
Hereās what I was trying to post:

I'm on mobile so I will have to drop a link later (if ever)

It's awesome. Thank me later.
