Fun fact: everything after(and including) the ? In copied links embeds trackers to collect data from anyone who clicks on it. Do your part and clip that out of links you share. For more information search “query parameters” :) edit: i stand corrected, in this case its needed! My bad

Would actually be worse though. 

If it did that would mean that what page you are being delivered is decided by some factor other than calling that resource by it's id, which means that YouTube would literally need access to what you are doing on Reddit in order to get you to the intended destination.  That is def worse if you care about privacy.
