Title: YouTube started adding a new parameter &quot;pp=sAQA&quot; to video URLs on most index style pages (e.g. &#x2F;feed&#x2F;subscriptions, search results, the &#x2F;videos page on any channel). The actual video pages (&#x2F;watch) strip the pp= parameter, and it doesn&#x27;t appear to be added to the URLs for the &quot;recommended&quot; videos.<p>Does anybody know what this parameter does and&#x2F;or why it was added? It&#x27;s really annoying; using YouTube URLs in the shell now requires quoting due to the &quot;&amp;&quot;.
