Basically, the link has a part at the end that doesn't do anything on the end of the user but lets the site keep track of which users came from the link you took. You can remove it and the only difference is that the site won't know they came because you shared something with them.
Thank you!
Which part of the link? (So I can delete it)
Edit: nvrmind I see the culprit part now and have edited it. YouTube ain't getting ad revenue off me.
You should delete the "?=" and onward.
Ty Ty 👍
Unless it's YouTube.com/watch?v=... That's important info
