Here is an awesome DefCon talk about this topic from the perspective of a darknet vendor. It's amazing:

Nice presentation. Ironically the ?si= parameter is for tracking. You should remove it.

Is it sad that when someone else gives me a video with an si parameter or similar, I keep it on when passing it forward, in my eyes, this feeds garbage to their backend.

New tool idea: a si parameter tracking "mixer"?

Crowdsource making tracking useless?

> this feeds garbage to their backend

How is a timestamped chain of communication between persons interested in a particular topic "garbage"?

We don't know that its just a timestamp, look up Discord Snowflake, which is a unique user ID with a timestamp to boot.

Thanks. I was on mobile and didn't notice it.
