URL cleaners shouldn't punish the creators you follow.

When you click a YouTuber's Amazon link, that ?tag=… parameter is how they get paid — a few cents per sale, at no extra cost to you. Most cleaners strip it along with the noise. MUGA tries not to.

We maintain an explicit allowlist of 6 affiliate programs. When MUGA detects one of those tags, it preserves the referral and shows a small Creator referral preserved toast so you know it happened.

The rules are open-sourced as CAPS — the Creator Affiliate Preservation Standard — so any URL cleaner can do the same.
