I'm a data nerd and I like to see when people click on my links :) For example barely anyone clicked when I posted this on twitter vs. tons of exposure on HN: https://bitly.com/qxaxrC+

Dunno, I just enjoy keeping track of what I post and seeing what's popular, etc!

Fair enough, I guess I forgot about that. It's still a leap of faith to press a bit.ly link by paranoids like me. I should probably use an addon and forget about these.
