>It's not possible to tell whether a message giving you a link to something is 'sketchy' or not before clicking the link

Sure it is. It's just not something the average user can do. But what makes the situation worse is that most emails now use click tracking, so ALL links are sketchy. For example, emails from my union all link to 2mv.aplink.red and are 200 characters long and look like /dev/urandom output. No fucking idea what or who controls that domain, but it for sure is not my union. I've complained multiple times, including acting dumb and asking if they've been hacked because their email look shady as hell.

Email with the unsubscribe link wrapped in click tracking gets sent straight to SpamCop. I hate tech more and more every day.
