It counts as a redirect (therefore, more used data), is not even that short compared to the real thing (only removing the  and the   parameter) and generates an even longer address when the shortened link is clicked, is only good for making messages shorter for Twitter posts, and tracks the data of people who click it.

It is not worth the time and effort to create the shortened link. It is not only easier to click the address at the top of your browser once and copy-paste, but it is technically better in many regards. That is why I have come to the decision.
