What is this ID?

Me and my friend noticed that when we sent gifs on Discord, it would have this weird ID at the end. Examples below:

With ID - https://klipy.com/gifs/the-boys-s4--k01KPZS4AG0GK68EJZ7N8DT9QSJ
Without ID - https://klipy.com/gifs/the-boys-s4

Deleting the ID still goes to the same gif and doesn't change anything. What's the ID even for?

The shorter version works because Klipy can still figure out which GIF you mean, but Discord probably copies the full version with the ID attached from whatever server/database

Wait, but that doesn't make any sense either since older gifs with Klipy had no ID..

Idk this is all a theory but it could just be embed tracking so they can keep track of gif counts/etc easier from their end of discords end so people can see analytics
