I always try removing the shit after the ? and if it doesn't affect the destination of the link at all then I assume it's tracking bullshit and in my opinion you should too.

It's like someone read my timeline and put out a call for this. Wish more people would care to sanitise their links.
in some cases (like with tiktok links), i've noticed that it straight-up prevents you from accessing what you were linked to without making an account
I'm not smart enough at computers to know these things. 😢
