I used bit.ly to shorten the URL for urlroulette(wouldn't let me use it otherwise.) Bet it would be pretty easy to just make it redirect to itself indefinitely with some kind of script or something.

Also, thankfully, I got homestar runner and not any of the things mentioned in other comments.

This seems like a vector for 1) malicious content (malware, spyware, cryptominers), 2) spam (referral links, MLM sites), 3) offensive content (shock sites, extreme pornography), 4) illegal content (child pornography, terrorist material).

It also has a popularity ranking, which at the moment has an usual shock site in 4th place...

I spent a few minutes looking for a good rickroll remix and found one that's pretty sweet and looks underappreciated in the view count: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jECVGW-nbUg

#3 is the top third trending site listed.
