-iOS
Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Often it is also after the ?
See this spotify sharing link

Si stands for sharing id
But sometimes it is necessary like for youtube.
Oh ok, that's interesting. Thanks!
Yeah np, you can remove it and still have a working link
