Investigation Brief
videy.yt runs a free URL-shortening service called Shortmylink that monetizes via a 4:1 ad-rotation model. One in four clicks on shortened links lands on sponsor pages. The domain is 449 days old, the browser threat feed shows no warning, but Gridinsoft and one other vendor flag it as suspicious.
How the service works
The site offers a simple form where visitors paste a long URL, choose a domain such as videy.yt, and click 'Buat Shortlink' to generate a shortened link.
A free account option is promoted for extra features, but the core shortening tool is available without registration.
Ad rotation and security signals
The site explicitly states that every fourth click on a shortened link redirects to a sponsor or advertisement page, a model described as 'rotasi iklan 4:1'.
Gridinsoft lists three blacklist detections and labels the site suspicious; one other antivirus family also reports an adverse result.
Why the score is 62
Gridinsoft and one other vendor flag the domain as suspicious. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
