Sorry to be completely off-topic, but: I'm really reluctant to click on anything with these 'share IDs' and usually remove them from any link I share with anyone. I don't want to make it even easier for the platforms to build networks of associated accounts.

I believe the Firefox extension CleanURLs helps with this.

I do the same thing!

Sorry to be pedantic but if you're clicking the link, YT gets the referer header even without the share id url parameter.
