PSA: Youtube now tracks your account in shared links, allowing them to link your Lemmy account to your Google account. To prevent this, remove ?sl= and everything after it from links you share (until &t= if it's present).

The URLCheck app seems to bork the cleaning process on YouTube links. Had to fix it manually

Now I just add my social security number to the URL query params.
