Youtube is apparently rolling out a new change where when you share a video link it will share you profile with whoever clicks it.

Video with info on it here(CW: Reactionary/fash stuff on screen at times): https://youtu.be/oFx46sqo8O0

Everyone should be aware of this especially when sharing to something like hexbear. It can break your anonymity without you even realizing.

CW to that video for all the hitlerite bullshit

For all share links:

copy link
paste into incognito tab
go to expand the url
delete every unnecessary url parameter. For YouTube, all that is necessary is the v=abc123 to identify the video
