It's more obvious when it's someone with emoji as their name (you know who you are :p )

This is partially why I keep my profile pretty baren. No display name, picture, bio, etc.

Edit: I don't usually do this but I'm too curious, why would someone downvote this? You want me to be more attention grabbing? Oh, never mind, they hit everyone.

But your username is the name of a great German psychedelic rock band of the late 60s, early 70s, everyone must recognize you!

Here's a video to make up for it.

Also, you should trim everything after the question mark in YouTube links. That's how they track you.

Huh, TIL about youtube URLs. It's also nice to know the origin of your username, looks like a pretty cool band

The whole German psychedelic rock movement of the 70s is awesome 😘👌

Neu! is one of my favorite bands if you want to listen to another one!

That's not just YT. A lot of services and apps (e.g. amazon or xitter) you're logged into and share links from add parameters (stuff behind the questionmark) to the link that identify in the end who has shared it.

Try to shave off as much as possible from a shared link and test if it still works. To get a feel for what you can delete from the link, try to navigate to the destination (e.g. YT-video) inside a browser with which you're not logged into that service and which has preferrably cleared its history, cache etc. Then compare the link from that browser with the one from the browser you're logged in with.
