Why do people post bit.ly links in places where there is no char limit? Are people that conditioned by twitter?
- bdickason 15y agoI'm a data nerd and I like to see when people click on my links :) For example barely anyone clicked when I posted this on twitter vs. tons of exposure on HN: https://bitly.com/qxaxrC+ https://bitly.com/qxaxrC+ Dunno, I just enjoy keeping track of what I post and seeing what's popular, etc!
- mikle 15y agoFair enough, I guess I forgot about that. It's still a leap of faith to press a bit.ly link by paranoids like me. I should probably use an addon and forget about these.
