    Recently, YouTube started adding a tracking parameter to their share URLs, when using the “share” button on a video. With this, they can track who is sharing videos with who, and under some circumstances even how they are shared. The tracker starts with the question mark in the link you posted and the link works perfectly fine without that part.

      Thanks for pointing this out, I think it’s not only youtube that does this and the solution is to edit such link before sharing them, right?

        There’s the clearurl addon that removes known trackers. But you gotta copy it from the URL bar first.
