Google's URL shortening service goo.gl links will stop working on August 25th, 2025, resulting in 404 errors.
Starting August 23rd, 2024, goo.gl links will show an interstitial page warning users of the upcoming shutdown.
Google initially suggested migrating to Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL), which has also since been deprecated.

So many links are going to go dead because of this. I'm sure plenty of software out there used this to automatically shorten links for posting on social media etc.
