Get YouTube share URL sans tracking query param (www.icloud.com)

When you copy the URL for sharing in YouTube, it adds a query parameter now, so=blah, for tracking the source. This removes that. It could of course be smarter and stop at either the end or the next parameter, but since I haven’t seen any extras, I just remove everything after.

Yes, there are many things one could do manually that could otherwise be done with automation, but here we are… in an automation community.

Thats fair, I didn't realize that as I was reading all.
