It's a token so Youtube can track user groups. Basically, if Youtube can ID every user that clicks on that link, YouTube knows that those users share something in common. And if that link gets indexed by Google's crawlers,Youtube also knows what those users have in common.

YouTube can map out friend groups, acquaintances, families and online groups.

    When you paste a yt link, if the end part has ?si= followed by a string of letters, delete anything from the right end of the link up through the question mark.

    eg:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLQ4by3lUJo ? si  = bQE9ROEkQSQ

    (normally the ?si= part doesn't have spaces)

    becomes:
