When someone really loves you, they delete all that ridiculous querystring nonsense from the end of the hyperlink before sending it to you. 💘

that assumes that the average Web surfer (or any Web targeting tech, really) has any clue about this ... I keep doing that but my less tech-oriented circles that share links all over the place have no idea 😢

I keep telling them but they see just numbers here and there and it's a dead-end conversation.

Thanks I am embarrassed I really didn't know about this. I'm exclusively on mobile I haven't had a computer for years now. So I think that crap is even more prevalent thanks to people like me, cuz it's a pain to edit links on mobile so why bother especially if you don't know why?

I did not expect that when I grew old and would rant about how much better things were back in my day, it would be about the fucking internet lmao
