Ironically, I got a letter from the NHS about getting my COVID-19 vaccination, and it included a bit.ly link to some official NHS guidelines document.



A letter can actually benefit from easier to type links, though. There's at least a point to it there. Too bad that bitly links contain more entropy than the password of the person typing it and doesn't avoid similar characters..... they could have chosen a service that actually optimizes for copying from paper instead of highest entropy per character.
