The complexity is likely a product of redundancy and error correction in the QR code rather than making it unique. You begin to run into issues with camera resolution and whatnot, but in theory those codes are likely more reliable.

QR codes have built in redundancy and error correction though

  yeah, qr codes have different levels of error correction that you can specify, could very be well turned up to the max
  
  or the url has a ton of tracking params appended to it for some reason

    Ideally you should use a short URL that redirects to the full URL. The tracking parameters should be on the long URL, not the short one.

    Why is that ideal? Seems more prone to problems if the short URL service shuts down or suffers outages.

  Yeah - that’d be my guess for an over-complicated code with minimal info.
