PSA WHEN SHARING LINKS: Please remove anything that comes after a `?` in the url. It is a tracker and puts any Pede that clicks the link at risk of being doxxed by big tech.
Not quite. See mod comment.
Please be careful out there Pedes. ALWAYS check and clean your links before sharing.
EDIT:
Getting a lot of comments about valid use of query parameters (parts with the ? in a url).
It is true, not every query param needs to be removed from a url.
But if you are sharing anything from twitter, fb etc, please remove it (feel free to test the link before hand to make sure it is working)
I get that, but as a general rule of thumb it doesn't need to be there for anything that comes from an unsafe source (i.e big tech/MSM shit)
You don't know what you're talking about.
I use start times, too. But it's easy to see in the form of &t=330s or whatever.
Bottom line: people need to observe URLs and understand how they work.
I can give you an example.

Take off everything after the ? and you will not see the Q post I am trying to show you.
You can always test the link in a separate window and see if removing everything after the ? is a problem. In most cases, it isn't.
In the case of your example, knowing that "q" is a variable which stands for query helps you to parse the reason it's contained in the url.
And as others have stated, ClearUrls is a browser plugin that automatically strips tracker urls from a link while preserving the variables that actually are important.
P.S. It's now https://qaggregator.news/?q=ncswic
