it's not really cloaking it's redirecting.

Different directions to confuse bots and mods - it sounds scammy to me.

For me as well. In the case of Facebook, which is so nitpicky, don't you increase even more the risk of a definitive account suspension? Even aside from Facebook, it just does not feel right to me.

10 years back was cloaking so easy, now earning the links the hard way

Yeah as always ... Promoting gambling to harmless and innocent people?
Promoting offshore casinos to countries where gambling is grey in best case?
Looking to scam casinos while looking for incentivated players to fulfill quotas?
Cloaking (redirect) outgoing links on your websites, to show him an "internal link" so that the user does not delete the aff-id while copying the link instead of clicking it?
Cheating Google while buying, trade, swap (sorry, its building ofc) backlinks every single time.
Really? And you have a problem to trick FacebookAds or GoogleAds mods?

eenzoo, the question is always where do we draw the line, and yes, sometimes it's a gray area. But in the case of breaking Facebook and Google rules by trying to trick them, there's really no question that that's on the wrong side of the line. I want the industry to trend in the other direction.
