      Just FYI, the “si” bit in your YouTube link is a tracking code. It’s unique to your account, and Google uses it to track your social network. You might consider removing it when sharing links.

      On Android, I use a FOSS app called “Léon URL Cleaner” which removes tracking artifacts from URLs. I just “share” a link in Android—or simply copy one and “share” the clipboard—then choose this app. Then you can easily share, open, or copy the cleaned link from there. It’s on F-Droid:

      https://f-droid.org/packages/com.svenjacobs.app.leon/

      (Obviously, it’s not hard to just edit out the “si” parameter, but the app makes it so easy and works for other links, too.)

      I like that the video ID is almost “Daanng, man!”
