I recently saw a post with a link shortener (boost ink) it looks shaddy, though, i think it's more of an ad thing (or steps based, i forgot)

 

But hmm, what you all think? Should the usage of link shorteners be banned, but of course with a few exceptions:

 

1. Should be well known (e.g: goo.gl)

2. Shouldn't include any type of profitting (e.g: Filled with ads or blocked by steps)
