Does anybody know more about their business models? Or ‘its business model’, in singular, as clicking a few in that list suggests that many are just faces of the same company. [21:49] Ads? [21:52] I mean both are possible it came up in one of my searches [21:54] “Ads” by not redirecting directly, but putting ads in your face first? Could work. [21:55] You should see some of the monstrosities I have seen. I remember the coinhive URL shortener [21:55] Or the early days of adfly [21:55] url shorteners always fascinated me even before I joined archiveteam [21:56] I’d be highly amused if at some moment all targets are changed to some advertisement or phishing page. [21:57] Many shorteners have had that problem Particularly ones with the adfly template [21:57] every time you visited an adfly link it used to download a fake flash player if you didn’t have an Adblock on [21:59] And the horror of the Coinhive shortener some greedy assholes used to set it to most hashes as possible so if you were stupid and/or patient with a slowish computer it could take 20 minutes to get to your link [22:26] Nice [22:26] Popups etc. are also an option, although frequently blocked by browsers nowadays of course.
