Started following this fella when I watched his videos on making improved Air powered planes like those old Air Hogs toys I used to like. Now his latest video is pretty cool.
did you remove the ?si= from this youtube link to make the bots happy or is youtube getting sneakier with their tracking?
New version of lemmy automatically removes it.
Shutting down hexbear to add useful features is ok I guess.
that's not what happened here though if you look at the url its way too long to be a regular video ID
what happened here is that OP removed just the literal
?si=and left the tracking id in place. youtube just discards anything after the expected video id I guess so it works but kinda defeats the purpose. For a second I thought the lemmy filter did that, or that youtube made the share ID feature sneakier by just appending it to the video ID but looks like the lemmy filter is correctly written and this was just human input, which is comforting I suppose.Oh yeah neat, taking out the middle bit I did was the trick we used to use to foul the tracking, used to get users and mods in my inbox threatening to remove my links if I didn't
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
