And if you break your camera, you can't use QR-codes. Happened to me with Whatsapp Web.
Like I said, QR-codes are awful at usability and have extreme pitfalls. Shortlinks are quick, fast and concise and they take much less space.
Also, shortlinks does not mean "cryptic urls". For example slush.org/L01 is much, much better and faster than some QR-code, it's wayyyy more accessible and also more shareable. You can also tell about it to people with just words that they can easily remember.
