The best part is that if you inspect elements, it still shows as the original link. They only generate the go link after you clicked.

That is so... gross!!! Ugh. Yuck!

Gross, or brilliant?

The former lol. I'm a software dev and I'm ashamed at how we keep making the internet worse by just doing whatever the money tells us to do. It's even worse when we "innovate" for them in this way.

I've come to the conclusion most software devs are as soulless as all business majors.

I've tried talking to devs online about how we need at minimum collective bargaining, but we view ourselves as some kind of petit bourgeois, immune to the normal ravages of capital... sigh.

We're now seeing how much that is worth now that interest rates are shit and there's a glut of surplus labour to compete over the limited job pool.

Although many of the devs I speak to are like me: just trying to get by without selling out to the really giant corporations.

Depends on where you fall on the sociopathy spectrum.

That's how Google always worked, btw. But there is one obvious benefit to showing the original URL before you click it, you can hover it to see where the link actually leads before they hijack the click.

Not always, but for quite a while now

that’s also for accessibility, etc so i wouldn’t pin it all on being malicious
