It's your unique tracking code. If I click that link, Google will know you shared a video with me. They want to know who's talking to who on other platforms.

Is there a way to avoid that? I didn't post the clip, so I can't re-upload it somewhere else. Logging out of YouTube doesn't seem to make a difference

Remove the ?si= part and the code afterwards

Firefox has a context menu entry “copy link without tracking” when you right-click in the address bar.
