As general rule you should look at where a URL goes as well as what the link text.
A big ass link that is pointed towards tinyurl should have set off alarm bells for everyone who clicked the link.
That was slick @owl
You son of a bitch! overnmentjobs 🤣
You know what? I forgive url shorteners, sometimes they truly are necessary
URL Shorteners can go down.
QR Codes would literally contain the entire link without relying on a third-party service.
Why has nobody invented a URL longener?
You can always add unnecessary query parameters. Just throw on a
?fart=butts&pen=is&herp=derpetc.Finally!
(Psst, rumor has it you can tack on to a URL pretty much any alphanumeric text you like after typing a ? or # symbol)
Yeah, but query/hash params aren’t necessary. I don’t want the URL to be shortenable!
