See, I actually like it when URLs contain human-readable text. Cryptic URLs like YouTube has are meaningless to me, requiring me to actually visit the page to see what it is. That's also why I dis-like link shorteners. I really like Stack Overflow's URLs because of how flexible they are. You can put anything in the title slug, since only the ID is used. When self-documenting links aren't useful, then you can omit the title slug completely. For example, these four links all point to the same page (in a code block so they don't get truncated): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37358364/rules-for-the-use-of-angle-brackets-in-typescript https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37358364/typescript-angle-brackets https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37358364 https://stackoverflow.com/q/37358364
