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

    I habitually remove query strings. They’re only necessary in rare instances when they include a token or something.

    Interestingly, I don’t have the “channel visibility for shared links” option in my privacy settings.

      i didn’t have the option on desktop but did on mobile app. switching the option on for mobile did nothing for the tracking link when clicking share on desktop.
