Spoti.fi shotener WARNING
We have been with Bitly for some 8 years; it's been okay until now - but we have just experienced a scandalous event. We are using their spoti.fi shortener and have been doing that for many years. Suddenly the URL does not work. We filed that problem with support, and two times they came back and told us it was now repaired. Third time, they admitted they are not able to control the URL any longer, and what is even worse, the older URLs already created and in "use", are useless as well. We have over many years pasted these URLs for our products on all kinds of social media platforms, sales sites, Youtube, etc.—a total breakdown for our system. No info in advance, no info on homepages or in support - even their own staff didn't know about it. Not even an offer of (for example) creating a redirect. What a scandalous behavior.
