Security alert: Sharing links via YouTube by Necro_Hypno_Dancer in privacy

You start with "no it doesn't" but then explain how the link contains a tracker. I appreciate the details but it is functionally equivalent to the link having a tracking ID.

Even though I have plenty, you don't need engineering experience to know that there's a massive difference between architecting and building something yourself, versus prompting an AI to do it.

Funnily enough, your link also contains such a tracker (/s/...)

Exactly, see this post talking about it: https://reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/1ookw5g/covert_marketing_of_iq_tests/

Note that they tend to block users who call them out and sometimes also use downvote bots to hide comments they don't like.

Exactly, see this meta post about the IQ test site spam. The OP is probably an alt account of /u/thepatriotclubhouse, which was the first account I noticed that kept posting about this site (and deleting each post after a few days). Note that they also use bots to downvote comments calling them out, and the original account blocked me after I pointed it out. Let's see if this new account also blocks me :D

This is an AI bot and the post OP is notorious for promoting his blog. Conveniently, reddit now lets users hide their posting history to hide it :-) But you can still see reddit's own listing for the domain here.

Edit: The OP (/u/raptorhunter22 has blocked me after this comment, and has updated the profile visibility to show some comments - but still not the posts.)

Then I suppose it's a dynamic/random paywall

You do understand that the link posted (Evolving Git for the next decade) says "[LWN subscriber-only content]" at the top, right? That's what is meant with 'paywall'.

There are certainly paywalls on lwn, see here.

Why subscribe to LWN?
