Obviously there’s the most viewed of all time, which would count, but there’s also thousands of absolute classics that are lesser known. I can only recall some because they made a specific impression on me. There should be a community to archive those and pseudo-rank them through upvotes.

NB: remove the ?si= part of a YouTube link and everything following it.
This is the share ID, and creates a link between your account and any account that watches it, indicating that you have shared a link with them. They track this to try to figure out what videos you, and the person you shared it with, might like in common.
Some of the easiest tracking to avoid just by removing a string from a URL.
Great tip! Thanks
