When someone shares a #YouTube video link, what is that extra, completely unneeded part that looks like:

si=XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Is that a “share identifier”?

Is Google using that to identify who originally shared the video, and who you are associated with based on who is else is clicking it?

This is a YouTube video link. Is there an SI that you're seeing that I'm not?

Anything after the question mark is unnecessary tracking data.

Brave Browser on desktop has a "copy clean link" option.

That’s not true. The “v=XXXXXXXXXX” is the ID of the video itself, which is necessary.
