I suspect your "shameless plug" message is trying to draw attention away from the fact that you've added an adblock whitelisting query param to the url, presumably whitelisting ads from certain providers. This is more unethical than sharing tracking links in here.

Good spot, but I think this happens by accident rather than by design. If you have AdBlock Plus, and chose some option to allow YouTube ads on certain channels, it edits URLs to include this [0]. So @saivan may have just copied it from his browser's URL bar. [0] https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/69037368/url-change?hl=en https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/69037368/url-chang...

"shameless plug" draws attention to, not against. Anyway, it's not a big deal, ads aren't worse than tracking, and anyone who uses a real blocker uBlock Origin isn't affected by ab_channel.
