Get YouTube share URL sans tracking query param (www.icloud.com)

When you copy the URL for sharing in YouTube, it adds a query parameter now, so=blah, for tracking the source. This removes that. It could of course be smarter and stop at either the end or the next parameter, but since I haven’t seen any extras, I just remove everything after.

Or, you could just remove the "si" parameter from the link manually....

Yes, there are many things one could do manually that could otherwise be done with automation, but here we are… in an automation community.

Thats fair, I didn't realize that as I was reading all.
