If you actually visit 301works.org you will notice that there are a whopping _seven_ URL shorteners that have uploaded any data at all in the past 6 months:

- rn.tl / lensrentals.com

- nbl.gs

- qr.cx

- tiny.cc

- urlcut.com

- url.ie

- va.mu

And to be honest, those 7 shorteners aren't exactly big fish in the URL shortener business.



I did, and it seems that at least bit.ly data is uploaded daily, but your point still stands - 301works does not have anything close to 100% shortener coverage.

Unfortunately that is not bit.ly uploading any data. It is the effort of a few people (me included) that scrapes bit.ly and uploads it to archive.org.

Despite claiming otherwise, bit.ly hasn't uploaded a single short url to 301Works yet.
