    The complexity is likely a product of redundancy and error correction in the QR code rather than making it unique. You begin to run into issues with camera resolution and whatnot, but in theory those codes are likely more reliable.

      QR codes have built in redundancy and error correction, though. I guess if they had it turned up to the max for some reason?

        yeah, qr codes have different levels of error correction that you can specify, could very be well turned up to the max

        or the url has a ton of tracking params appended to it for some reason

          Ideally you should use a short URL that redirects to the full URL. The tracking parameters should be on the long URL, not the short one.
