I made a link shortener in 2010 and it was such a terrible experience. Constant notices from my hosting company about child porn links, repeated ominous emails from the FBI and their counterparts in other countries, having my server temporarily shut down repeatedly. I abandoned it after 6 months because the amount of time it took to continually adapt countermeasures to all the scummy abusers was too overwhelming. In so doing, I'm sure I contributed to all the link rot out there.
