But what's the point of shortening it? I want to see the source before clicking on a link.
He likely wasn't responsible for shortening it, Washington post did it automatically when sharing the article. Everything does this nowadays Google maps adds trackers to the url when sharing as well. I agree it's annoying but not many good ways around it.
That makes sense. Thanks!
