Or just remove the personalization:

https://open.spotify.com/track/7p1Ld2L58XvD5pryQDrkvC?si=xxx...

becomes:

https://open.spotify.com/track/7p1Ld2L58XvD5pryQDrkvC

Spotify links used to have neither `si` nor UTM components, and in my experience they still work without them.

As @svantana mentioned this unfortunately does not remove any personalization in Song Radio, etc. As long as you're logged in, these auto-generated playlists will contain exactly the same (personalized!) list of songs, regardless of whether you open them with or without the `si` and `utm` parameters. Removing `si` and `utm` just removes marketing / referral tracking information.
That's a completely different thing. Playlists will be personalised as long as you're logged in, which you must be to listen. Even their public playlists get reordered automatically based on your account history.
