This is probably the most amusing thing I've seen on Bitcointalk this year - page 2.

The problem is nobody apart from the people in North Korea who do not know about it, still click on those URL shortener links. Most of

these links redirect you to viruses and other bad sites. So, this should not be very effective, if people know what they doing. Nice try, but

no... we do not fall for this anymore... when it was new.. yes, but not anymore. Wink

Except people do still fall for this shit, and he knows it. There is no shortage of suckers on this forum and scammers will do anything to draw them into their web. Sad but true.

Amusing till you see it showing up all over the forum. Personally have a tendency to click very few things that redirect me somewhere off the forum. Used to trust certain posters but accounts get hacked and those individuals are usually the prime targets. So I do not find the humor in the thread topic but I may be a glass half full guy on those things.

This guy posts a link to a paid URL shortener.

And in case you have been living in North Korea for the past couple of years, what that means is that it takes a link, shortens it, and seeks to redirect you to a longer link, but with an advertisement in the middle, the revenue of which goes to whoever used the service to shorten the link.

So, he links to a paid URL shortener on the forum with the subject, "Can I get some users to visit this link and tell me if it works"

That's actually a very good way to get lots of clicks. 10/10
