14:10 🔗 Jens Are we interrested in this bullshit? https://bpaste.net/show/b90c23006be9
14:11 🔗 Jens ctt.ec, some click-to-tweet malarkey.
14:11 🔗 Jens Prepared tweets in a shortlink basically. With heaps of tracking of course.
14:19 🔗 JAA I'm having an /r/OfCourseThatsAThing moment here.
14:19 🔗 Jens Yea, same here.
14:20 🔗 Jens I don't know why people wouldn't just use https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=blah
14:21 🔗 JAA You can append a + to the URL to get a straight redirect, by the way.
14:21 🔗 Jens Huh, I tried that, but it didn't seem to work.
14:22 🔗 JAA Returns a 302 with "Location: http://" if the URL doesn't exist, it seems.
14:22 🔗 JAA Maybe you need to escape it from your shell or something.
14:23 🔗 Jens C:\Users\Jens>curl -i "https://ctt.ec/55eH9+"
14:23 🔗 Jens HTTP/1.1 200 OK
14:23 🔗 JAA Hmm
14:24 🔗 JAA Maybe it doesn't work for all URLs.
14:24 🔗 JAA aRUIN is the one I tried, because I found that link in their "hot list".
14:24 🔗 JAA Wait, actually, that's a different thing.
14:25 🔗 JAA https://ctt.ec/aRUIN is for tweeting that message, https://ctt.ec/aRUIN+ is a redirect to some related page.
14:25 🔗 JAA So it's also a normal shortener, not just a tweet message thingy.
14:26 🔗 Jens Interesting.
14:27 🔗 JAA And if the message just contains a link, it redirects to that link.
14:27 🔗 JAA E.g. top examples on https://clicktotweet.com/hotlist
14:29 🔗 JAA According to their FAQ, what happens is that they shorten any link within the message (except pic.twitter.com and bit.ly).
14:30 🔗 Jens So... ctt.ec shortens links, which twitter then shortens again with t.co. The shortening rabbit hole goes deep.
14:33 🔗 JAA Yeah, just found a t.co -> ctt.ec -> tinyurl.com -> target one.
14:34 🔗 Jens Has science gone too far?
