This looks like an awesome project idea to steal
This is so funny and useless, I love it
Yeah, I’ve never understood the URL shortener idea. It’s like a box of chocolates. You just never know what you’re going to fudge into next.
One benefit/reason is to make it easier to manually type in the URL. Like if it’s printed on an ad or poster or something.
Not a significant benefit anymore especially with QR codes.
Yeah I get the idea in that since. It’s just that you are putting a lot of trust in the source. But I guess that’s the same with qr codes but at least you get to see the destination in your camera view.
Here’s my creepy link: https://verify.ic6do.com/Y8kl04_system_optimizer
Based on these ads, I do not trust the site anyway.
Love the concept, though.
Ad for an ad-blocker. Genius 🤣
I wonder if it would be effective at blocking its own ads… 🤔
For a fee, probably
Probably the only ad ever to hit exactly and only the correct target demographic.
Doubtful. If you still have ads in 2026 you never valued your own time, software, or consent anyways.
Or maybe you like supporting creators and in general pay people for their goods and services.
I’ll just buy their products or use affiliate links or whatever. I’m not paying with my privacy or security for anyone.
That’s also a possibility, for sure. But it’s a tiny minority of people who do that.
I support creators I like, ad revenue goes mostly to corpo and not them so I block ads, simple
Depending on the site, TikTok takes like 80% while YouTube take less than 50%.
I know, that’s why I donate or buy merch/products from creators I like.
They get more money from that than they would ever get from ad revenue, and I get a less annoying experience of what ever platform I’m using (plus minimize profit corpos make on me, that’s always good).
If what ever corpo media wanted me to allow it easier profit, if sure better grow feet and give me a happy ending, otherwise it’s not gonna happen.
This is just a straight-up better version of what OP linked: https://phishyurl.com/

I gotta stop trying these out. The other day something to the tune of hot-singles.xxx autofilled in my phone browser the other day and I was so confused.
You only bang married couples or what?
Well, my wife and I are a married couple, so, yes?
Technically correct, the best kind of correct!
Jokes on you I saw the ad first.
You don’t have an adblocker? Wild
For a youtube app? Or did you mean on the network level? Because I’ve yet to tinker with the latter…
Yeah the latter
3/4 of screen space filled with ads, how do you live like this?
I don’t use yt on my phone. I was actually interested what op put behind the link. I thought it would be a rickroll, but yk, I had to click it. I know, it hurts me too, seeing other people suffer so many ads. Also this is my newest phone and I don’t have the time to spend tinkering around ad free stuff.
Don’t have time, but have time to click suspicious links in case it’s a Rick roll?
Fair point.
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
Exactly what I expected. Thanks for not letting me down.
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.
Looks like it got too creepy for its own good.
Firefox on Android doesn’t even have the “ignore” option :(
Pretty sure its under a more info dropdown
I didn’t have that, but I use Firefox Nightly.
And I also just found I can no-problem go to https://revoked.grc.com/ 😬
So it doesn’t even check for revoked certificates (but at least Fennec does).
Link shorteners and redirectors, especially new and lesser-known ones tend to get caught in the fray with things like Google Safe Browsing (which FF uses as well) and Smart Screen.
It’s because the original/shortened link gets reported and not the real/destination site. Then the domain (of the shortener/redirector) gets flagged, instead of the real site.
This happened to me at work this very week, with a redirector service that’s a part of our email security stack. FF and Chrome were both blocking links that were safe, because the redirector service itself was classified as sus.
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.
It’s why they have a report feature. No idea how well they moderate things tho.
Site seems best for gags with friends.
I used to run a public link shortener. Once the scammers catch wind and add it to their rotation all bets are off. I got inundated with reports and my standing with my web host would have been at risk as well (long story). I now use Shlink on those domains lol.
