That’s a whole lot of link rot about to happen.

I have probably saved hundreds of links from such a fate in my org. People there use them for everything even though the media they’re using them in allows them to be clicked (e.g. they’re not going out to print where someone has to type them in).

Thankfully, I’m in a position to un-shorten them before they get published. lol

It might be interesting to have a search engine or someone else who has built a massive list of links visible online generate unshortened forms now before Google shuts down the service.
