If you use Bitly s free plan, you might have noticed a big change now, every shortened link opens an interstitial page with an ad before redirecting to the destination.

Bitly says this helps keep free plans available, but let s be real this isn t great for marketing teams. Here s why:

It adds friction Instead of a seamless experience, your audience now sees an ad before reaching your link. That extra step could hurt conversions.

It affects brand trust Imagine clicking a link from a brand you trust, only to see an unexpected ad first. That could make users hesitate.
