minus-square@flames5123link4•10 months agoHuh? That’s just wrong. youtube.com/watch?v=FOO&si=BAR would be shortened to just youtu.be/FOO?si=BAR The link to other people’s account is in the &si=BAR part. Probably standing for “share ID” or “source ID”or something. The shortened link is just the same as the long one with watch?v=FOO being included in the URL instead of the parameters.
