Why with analytics? This is exactly why I block all link shortening domains on my network.

More broadly, I really wish all of us in the technology community would stop with the tracking. Why do email links need to be tracked? Why do we need hidden pixels? Why do QR code scans need to be tracked? I understand the profit motive but guess what? You can still run a business without spying on users.

This is like asking for people to stop engaging in capitalism. Good luck with that.

Greedy fucks. This is why I’m sometimes ashamed to tell people I work in tech.
