    I think sometimes it gives people analytics on how many people click the link when the link is to something they themselves don’t control. But I’m not entirely sure if that’s a common service shorteners offer.

      They also sometimes give you the ability to change what the link points to which is great if you send out a link only to realise it went to the wrong place after the fact.
