@interfluidity @fox a possible counterpoint; many urls are now just meaningless strings of number and letters, so seeing them doesn't help anyway. It's also easier to trick someone with a spam domain such as Google.sussy.com/loads-of-shit-here so people can't make sense of it.

@Foxy @interfluidity @fox Yes! Was going to comment something similar. Unfortunately, back in the day, this was never codified, policed, and enforced, and it’s doubtful anyone would do anything about it today.

But even long ago I remember reading a PC Magazine editorial by the irreverent John C Dvorak (I think it was him) griping about sloppy gobbledygook urls. In an actual magazine. On paper. The kids just don’t understand.
