Often urls can be most effectively shortened manually. I wish everybody who sends me something like this:

    https://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/hotelwestminster.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaDuIAQGYATHCAQN4MTHIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=9b4fe19e9de68a3cb71714046bf9d64a;checkin=2017-05-12;checkout=2017-05-13;ucfs=1;highlighted_blocks=5190001_91458119_0_2_0;all_sr_blocks=5190001_91458119_0_2_0;room1=A;hpos=1;dest_type=city;dest_id=-1456928;srfid=49082c78468185e093631018c71495e7e11775c0X1;from=searchresults;highlight_room=#hotelTmpl

Would just take a look at the url and see that only this part is needed:

    https://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/hotelwestminster.html

Or that this:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/68sgew/you_awake_one_morning_to_find_you_have_10_skill/"

Is just a sugarcoated version of this:
