EDIT: Please do click the link so my joke can land
EDIT 2: Sorry I’m too much of a wimp to even happy-prank people
I tried buddy 😔
I guess there’s a pretty short lifespan on these links haha
Well, here it is https://youtu.be/Gu_hxO9iDi8
We killed it!
Lemmy hug of death
What even is the point of URL shorteners? I always understood it as a Twitter thing, but I see them more outside of Twitter.
Easier to type when used on posters and other media where you can’t simply copypaste
I think sometimes it gives people analytics on how many people click the link when the link is to something they themselves don’t control. But I’m not entirely sure if that’s a common service shorteners offer.
I find it handy for writing down a URL on paper
Okay, grandpa.
JK
Paper may be old-fashioned but I need something light for the carrier pigeon
I totally believe this works, but there’s no way I’m clicking on any of those links
I expect most of them are Rickrolls.

This is just straight-up a better version of what OP linked
listen here, you little shit
Cm0002:
waltzes into chat about deceptive links
clicks a deceptive link
realizes they have been deceived
Cm0002: “No, it is the person who posted the deceptive link who is wrong”.
Lmao, it’s less about the deception and more about where it led to 😂
Its all good. I’m glad it came across as good natured ribbing, lol.
Jokes on you I saw the ad first.
You don’t have an adblocker? Wild
Once you see the XcQ it’s too late.
It’s true. If you recognize the URL enough to avoid it, then you’ve been rickrolled without even clicking it. Wirelessly brain rickrolled
Looks like it got too creepy for its own good.
Firefox is not playing around
this got me rickrolled (after so long)

Here’s my creepy link: https://verify.ic6do.com/Y8kl04_system_optimizer
This looks like an awesome project idea to steal
it would be quite something, if the links actually went to/through malicious sites…
Maybe 1 of a thousand redirects actually does go to a malicious site.
