I noticed these recently. I’ve started stripping them out. Anyone know what they do?

I strip them out of Facebook, Youtube links etc as well.
They don't do anything in particular except log something about where you got the link from.

't' is always 22 characters of base64 and changes with every pageload. The 's' is constant even in an incognito window, 2 numerals from what I've seen so far, for me it's 20 for your link.
Tracking diffusion of links through hidden graphs is what comes to mind for me.

The s is a platform indicator (21 is iOS, 19 is Android, just off the top of my head). No idea what the t payload does other than "drop into a hash table somewhere"
