FWIW, my link is not equivalent to the one I replied to, and this lazy comment of mine probably deserves downvotes for making it seem I was implying that. These a.co links are not generated until requested, and new ones are generated each time they are requested. OP pointing out that you can quickly link to a common unique ID is valuable. I was just pointing out that the existing link shortener is pretty good.
