    Look at the URL you posted: you used the official Reddit app to read that website, and they injected all the UTM tracking parameters to know that it was firstly shared from your app using the share button.

    Number One reason to boycott their app (but tbh it’s a bit amateur hour, with the resources they have they can do like Amazon and share a shortened URL with much more tracking tokens)

      Just to clarify, those links at the bottom are from the description of the youtube video and OP didn’t post em. For some reason that’s what happens when you post youtube videos on lemmy (maybe adding your own descriptions stops this from happening? EDIT: yes it does)
