ShadyURL is an URL-shortener that turns your little precious link into a disturbing monstrocity with a notion of questionable content. In its heart it is a vitriolic play on an astounding conceptual pointlessness of URL-shorteners.
Think about why URL-shorteners exist? They make links compact and more aesthetically pleasing? Sure. You can't attach links on social media and sometimes you have sign limit that you can't waste on mile long link. OK. But both reasons are obvious bullshit.
Aside from artificially imposed limitations - there are no practical justification for URL-shortening. Sure, they offer seemingly reasonable solution - instead of putting the real link -
they redirect to it through their own generated link that is shorter and branded. And by that they generate revenue though good o' PCC CTR.
Because of that - why not to mock the entire concept by weirding it out. Instead of simply shortening sweet URL ShadyURL turns them upside down inside out and backwards. It adds something generously inappropriate and insulting to the link so that it would look like something really suspicious.
