Maybe unpopular opinion:
If your websites has urls like https://somedomain.com/subcategory/subtopic/subpost/article

Then you should also provide a url alias like
https://somedomain.com/post-title that redirects to the actual article.

I don't need vague tinyurl-like shortener. I want to know the url is legitimate content from you.

I want short and memorable url I can share with other people. It doesn't need to be super short, but short enough and meaningful enough.
