What does "& feature = related" mean in a YouTube URL?

Question

I saw a couple of others such as "feature = feedu", "feature = relmfu" in the URL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&feature=relmfu). I can attach or remove them from the url and nothing changes. Does anyone know what these parameters mean and what information is transmitted using these parameters?

Answer 1

I assume they are used for analytics.

Answer 2

relmfu - related video from the user who downloaded the currently viewed:

rel ated m ovie f rom u ser

Answer 3

After the video is completed, the video grid that YouTube invites you to watch, as it considers it to be associated with this video, appears and is available for viewing. When you click one of them, the URL is replaced with this URL of the video with & feature = related at the end so that it statistically recognizes the confirmation that you clicked it (as a presumption). He will update other videos with a higher number of clicks by the number of “related” to this video. When people publish a video with this function and its associated part at the end, they simply copy the address as a whole, not knowing that the section needs to be deleted ..

Answer 4

From my testing to get links, this means they were selected from the category of related videos. Probably used to check relevance for other videos (or I would assume). CHANGE from reading comments on the previous answer, I would like to indicate that I received this when I clicked other videos on the side.

Answer 5
