This is not enshittification. Many other knowledgeable users who actually know what they're talking about have explained why.
they're in this very thread cmon man

It's not for bsky to log clicks...????? They can already do that without doing this bounce link because you're using their app??????? Like folks are we really doing this?
It's for external websites to know that the click came from bsky. (E.g. if you click the link from the bsky app, without this trick it would like you just typed the URL in, since apps don't provide a referral header)
generally not true… the link href (the thing the browser shows to the user) would be the original link… bsky hijacks the link with an onclick (or similar) handler so you can see where you’ll be taken before clicking
I don't really see how. Other AppViews and custom clients don't do this. Its just a few lines of javascript in the frontend.
Funny how people keep saying it's not enshittification right up until the point where they choke to death on shit.
