To me at this point I question the wisdom of even using URL shorteners.

They almost all get abused by spammers and malware, they end up getting blacklisted, and as a best practice they are generally advocated for end users not to click on them.

In a Corp business environment I haven't found the pains that come with using them worth the shorter URL.

What places are they still widely used outsider of social media?
