 When you share Youtube links, they often contain a tracking code by the name of `si=something`.

It's perfectly save to remove this (and other) parts of the URL to make sharing more safe.

A good YouTube URL should look like this:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=video-id (rule of thumb: remove everything after and including the first "&")

or

https://youtu.be/video-id (rule of thumb: remove everything after and including the first "?")

Doing this does not only improve your security, but the security of everyone opening your link.

Happy sharing! PV! 🤙🏻

 Miss you mina

You beautiful mind you 
 Well first, I didn't see you spam lately so I had no reason to rant. 😄 Actually, I didn't see much posts of you at all at the times I was active. Maybe I need to reschedule my sleep, it was a bit weird lately anyway.

Second, I have a bad conscience cuz I still need to read a certain script and I didn't do I yet and ahhh.... This is how friendships with me usually end. Yay 
 Nostr clients should spot tracking tags in drafts and offer to remove them before posting.

 Appreciate this, I posted a YouTube link a while ago and foolishly left tracking code.  

Luckily I am not relevant enough for this to matter yet lol🤷🏼‍♂️
