    Linking YouTube videos on my phone now makes it difficult to share without stupid tracking links, but check out Videogamedunkey’s recent Black Ops 6 video. It’s asinine.

      I respect you appreciating this!

      Can you even get a non tracking spytube or reddit link amymore?

        Seriously! I used to be able to copy and paste easily and remove everything after the ?, but now they’ve changed it so it’s nested in the URL. Also, they broke ad blocking in Firefox Focus, so I have to copy and paste the videos into Safari with Vinegar and Baking Soda for a halfway decent watch experience. Aaaaaaaa

          Yeah i had suspicion that reddit using rando letter/number variables for specific link were died to person generating link.

          I saw youtube and twatter do the same…

          Disgusting

            Oh yah. They’re all doing it. Amazon too. Apparently with TikTok, you can’t even remove the tracking info, absolutely disgusting! I don’t touch TikTok, so I can’t confirm.

            If you see a ?, you can usually delete that and everything after it to get rid of the spy stuff.
