1000% agree with him, but uh, how does the video have 23k likes but only 5.4k views?

Here is a Tom Scott video explaining why computers and servers kinda suck at counting sometimes.

For future reference, the "?si=" and everything after it is just tracking info that you can and should delete.

It's a side effect of the "(not so) new (anymore) reddit" interface.

For some reason when you post in URLs, it escapes certain characters with backslashes. Then, the app/website hide those backslashes from you.

The URI you actually posted was RY_2gElt3SA (because of new reddit inserting \ in a way completely hidden from you), which is a broken stub. The correct URI someone else posted is RY_2gElt3SA, which actually produces a valid link.

In this way the new experience both creates the problem and then protects you from it. It seems to be one of the negative patterns designed to create friction for users who don't want to use the new (ad-ridden/algorithmic/enshittified) app or prefer old reddit.

It’s so trash, you try to add one and it drops out of replying.

Or try to edit one and the app crashes.

It’s shocking bad.

I’m still old school and would usually try to end the old markup [text](url) - but that fails in the app now.

Idk I’ll leave it up, it looks like someone dropped a cleaned up link - but thanks for clearing it up.
