Hello, I had a question about urls. I was browsing adult website links and I came across two identical urls, but one of them ended in ?trx= (followed by a bunch of numbers). Does anyone happen to know what the ?trx= string means?

That's called a URL parameter. What it means is website-specific.

Looks like an id tracker. YouTube does the same shit on some links.

Bump.

Ask grok

random crap after an URL are referral ids or trackers. I always remove them before going to a link
the idea of referral ids is that someone was told "advertise this site on forums and we will pay you $0.000001 per click"

Bump, still looking for an answer.

Fuck grok, I'm asking your mother to dinner (again) so don't wait up.

it's almost certainly a tracker, as other anons have already told you. the url without that is the real url, and the url with it was likely generated by another website, website B, that would like to be paid money for sending you to website A. or, it could be generated by website A itself and serve as a session token so they can track that you are the same person who was browsing website A before, so they can build a profile on you almost certainly to sell you ads more effectively. or it could be generated by website A so that when you share it with other people they know that you are the one who shared it with them, so they can correlate your behavior somehow and again build a profile on you to sell you ads. either way, I'm not clicking that shit nigga, so you're gonna have to decide what you think is most likely for yourself.
