PSA, you can edit any arxiv.org paper url to add "-vanity" before .org and it redirects you to the arxiv-vanity.com page for that paper.

I don’t know if I’m whooshing here but I did get a chuckle out of this.
It’s not really redirecting you, aren’t you redirecting it? :P

Well, arxiv-vanity.com uses a different TLD than arxiv.org, and their respective url schemes are completely different. arxiv-vanity.org is hosting a redirection site that interprets the arxiv.org path scheme and redirects you to the correct arxiv-vanity.com url.
I originally bought the arxiv-vanity.org domain and set it up as some rewrite rules on my personal caddy server. The owner of arxiv-vanity.com thought it was cool so we got everything transferred over to them now.
