That's not "gibberish", in my opinion understanding what URLs mean (or even reading them at all!) is one of the most overlooked computer skills nowadays. If they look like gibberish that's because of: 1. Tracking parameters spam (?fbclid=qwerty) 2. Lack of knowledge that many parts of the URL can (and even should) be skipped when sharing it.

there's room to innovate here.
