Doesn't clean URLs on YouTube

Open Synetech opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

YouTube adds tracking data to all links on the site. Here are a couple of places that I've seen many times:

Links in descriptions and comments of videos:

https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLU…xdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Funiversal-bypass.org%2F&v=PyIqEzZHLxQ

Avatar links in playlists:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy2b5p8-XccSOR_x5HGpiRA?embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fplaylist%3Flist%3DPL…&source_ve_path=MzY5MjU&feature=emb_ch_name_ex

(The rules file seems to include the redirect format but it doesn't seem to work, the links still show the original tracker even though they're logged, and the avatar links aren't included at all.)

Same issue. Found some videos like this one which have trackers in the links that are not being removes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLezYl77Ll8&t=6s

embeds_referring_euri, for exemple, is still present in the url.
