This is probably the most amusing thing I've seen on Bitcointalk this year

As long as there is a way to get paid, someone will try anything.
The internet is the new "Wild West"
Cryptocoins, ransomware viruses, signature campaigns, everyone is looking for a way to make a couple extra bucks on the web.

I guess this thread should be on Meta...

Yes, we've been seeing a surge of these links around the forums. What I normally do on these cases is search for the thread's topic online myself or simply read what other members post and comment based on that. I always avoid clicking links to unknown websites, I think it's a good security practice even if your computer doesn't have any private keys.

So there's that, if one doesn't want to give profit to posters or doesn't want to risk its computer to malicious ads... There are ways to circumvent these links

Yeah on some of other forum I also saw some lowered skilled genius posting like that. but the link/thread is already deleted. They should have to find some other places for sharing their links or have to adopt any other job.

The problem is nobody apart from the people in North Korea who do not know about it, still click on those URL shortener links. Most of these links redirect you to viruses and other bad sites. So, this should not be very effective, if people know what they doing. Nice try, but no... we do not fall for this anymore... when it was new.. yes, but not anymore. 

there is a simple solution for short urls:
{google how to see long url for more info}

but generally you can use a site like this: http://www.checkshorturl.com/ to see where link redirects you and some additional information about it
e.g. https://goo.gl/ahGcc0
http://checkshorturl.com/expand.php?u=https://goo.gl/ahGcc0

Code:

Long URL	https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1617532.0
Delay	0.87 second(s)
Short URL	https://goo.gl/ahGcc0
Redirection	301
Search long URL on	Yahoo | Google | Bing | Twitter
Check if safe on	Web Of Trust | SiteAdvisor | Google | Sucuri | Norton | Browser Defender

also here is some code for those interested: https://github.com/hrbrmstr/longurl

p.s. this method does not work on this particular site in OP because it is not a regular shortner.
