      This obviously depends on the context. For instance, I’m speaking at a public event and I put a link up on a presentation to my website. The website is running on my nginx server so I could already track every visit. Having a shortened URL helps me gauge the value of my talk. It’s not black and white

        Real name and face on the internet guy doesn’t get to have an opinion on tracking.

              I don’t believe in security by obscurity
