And they reported that it was to gather the referral when going to websites, which constitutes their income. But it’s closed source so we don’t know. It could be tracking and selling the data.

it’s it really shady when they stated up front they’re doing it so posters and journalists can see where their traffic is coming from?

Well, if they tell the truth then it’s fine. But no way to know what they do with this redirect (to my knowledge at least).

Ah yes, to prove they drive traffic to places, they funnel all outgoing links through themselves for tracking.
