You’ve been sharing links with your name attached and didn’t know it

That `?si=` is a share ID tied to the exact person who sent it. Same rickroll, but now YouTube knows who shared, who clicked, and how you two are connected.

Every platform does this.

`fbclid` on Facebook. `igshid` on Instagram. `utm_source` on basically everything else.

Cut everything after the “?” before you paste. Link still works. Trail doesn’t.
