EDIT: Please do click the link so my joke can land
EDIT 2: Sorry I’m too much of a wimp to even happy-prank people
I tried buddy 😔
We killed it!
Lemmy hug of death
I guess there’s a pretty short lifespan on these links haha
Well, here it is https://youtu.be/Gu_hxO9iDi8
❤️
Exactly what I expected. Thanks for not letting me down.
listen here, you little shit
Cm0002:
waltzes into chat about deceptive links
clicks a deceptive link
realizes they have been deceived
Cm0002: “No, it is the person who posted the deceptive link who is wrong”.
Lmao, it’s less about the deception and more about where it led to 😂
Its all good. I’m glad it came across as good natured ribbing, lol.
Jokes on you I saw the ad first.
You don’t have an adblocker? Wild
For a youtube app? Or did you mean on the network level? Because I’ve yet to tinker with the latter…
Yeah the latter
3/4 of screen space filled with ads, how do you live like this?
I don’t use yt on my phone. I was actually interested what op put behind the link. I thought it would be a rickroll, but yk, I had to click it. I know, it hurts me too, seeing other people suffer so many ads. Also this is my newest phone and I don’t have the time to spend tinkering around ad free stuff.
Don’t have time, but have time to click suspicious links in case it’s a Rick roll?
Fair point.
Once you see the XcQ it’s too late.
It’s true. If you recognize the URL enough to avoid it, then you’ve been rickrolled without even clicking it. Wirelessly brain rickrolled
Looks like it got too creepy for its own good.
Link shorteners and redirectors, especially new and lesser-known ones tend to get caught in the fray with things like Google Safe Browsing (which FF uses as well) and Smart Screen.
It’s because the original/shortened link gets reported and not the real/destination site. Then the domain (of the shortener/redirector) gets flagged, instead of the real site.
This happened to me at work this very week, with a redirector service that’s a part of our email security stack. FF and Chrome were both blocking links that were safe, because the redirector service itself was classified as sus.
Firefox on Android doesn’t even have the “ignore” option :(
Pretty sure its under a more info dropdown
I didn’t have that, but I use Firefox Nightly.
And I also just found I can no-problem go to https://revoked.grc.com/ 😬
So it doesn’t even check for revoked certificates (but at least Fennec does).
Based on these ads, I do not trust the site anyway.
Love the concept, though.
This is just a straight-up better version of what OP linked: https://phishyurl.com/
Ad for an ad-blocker. Genius 🤣
Probably the only ad ever to hit exactly and only the correct target demographic.
Doubtful. If you still have ads in 2026 you never valued your own time, software, or consent anyways.
Or maybe you like supporting creators and in general pay people for their goods and services.
I’ll just buy their products or use affiliate links or whatever. I’m not paying with my privacy or security for anyone.
That’s also a possibility, for sure. But it’s a tiny minority of people who do that.
I support creators I like, ad revenue goes mostly to corpo and not them so I block ads, simple
Depending on the site, TikTok takes like 80% while YouTube take less than 50%.
I know, that’s why I donate or buy merch/products from creators I like.
They get more money from that than they would ever get from ad revenue, and I get a less annoying experience of what ever platform I’m using (plus minimize profit corpos make on me, that’s always good).
If what ever corpo media wanted me to allow it easier profit, if sure better grow feet and give me a happy ending, otherwise it’s not gonna happen.
I wonder if it would be effective at blocking its own ads… 🤔
For a fee, probably

In Germany, we have https://fckaf.de/
A very good service by DIE PARTEI
Of course it would be them. Love it. Thanks for the link!
Lol, they’re even offering emails? Thanks for sharing!
alive internet theory
A similar one here: https://phishyurl.com/
This is just straight-up a better version of what OP linked
Holy shit, they’re not messing around, and that’s with the “Normal” setting
Also love the alleged directory structure
Absolutely scary 😬 But link “shortener” may be the wrong name in this case
I don’t think it purports to be a shortener, just a susener
Pfft, I got one with TODO_Obfuscate_URL. I wish I saved it.
I totally believe this works, but there’s no way I’m clicking on any of those links
I expect most of them are Rickrolls.
Aaaaaand shady link:
A fellow student!
aaaaand rocketship 8========>
Firefox is not playing around
this got me rickrolled (after so long)
My ISP, O₂CZ (who collaborates with an Israeli cybersecurity company to “protect” (and spy on) everyone with default DNS settings) also blocks this one
