the youtu.be link contains nothing but the video's identifier, so I don't see how they could store a mapping

- jessaustin 10y agoIs the identifier unique? Does it have to be? Without switching to a different browser on a different IP addr and finding the same video again through a different search, would you even know?
- mintplant 10y agoYes, the format is youtu.be/<video id> where <video id> matches the one in the long URL (youtube.com/watch?v=<video id>&extra patameters...) and is unique to the video.
