One shortened url for several scenarios.
Here's an idea. What if a single shortened url was enough and then the redirections were based on the referer, the country, the time and many other possible criteria? Is this a service you could use and why?
I'm thinking, for example, of a musician/producer. A single url and, depending on a criterion, it redirects to his production studio or spotify profile. It doesn't matter what the url is, he has all his analytics on the same link.
What do you think about this idea?

Redirect by geo: seems unpredictable. People with VPNs will get unexpected results when clicking on a link. So will people who are traveling. Many other edge cases here.
Redirect by referrer: Pointless IMO. Why not just supply a different backlink "spotify.com/whatever" or "studio.com" depending on where the link is posted...? Another solution that works fine is using a generic "link in bio" service which is where people typically put all of the important links, and people that click on it can choose what they care about.
Overall: I'm having a hard time seeing why anyone would want to pay for this. Why do we need the redirect handling to be automated and centralized in some other service?
