Well hey now we know how Honey made all of their money. Give this a watch then uninstall Honey from your browser. It's NOT finding you the best deals and it's stealing from your favorite youtubers who make commission off of product referrals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc4y... - ThreadSky

Yeah, Honey only found like 50 cents in coupons in the years I've had it. Glad that video reminded me to uninstall that junkware.

Absolute villain behavior.

essyx.bsky.social•63 days ago

The affiliate abuse is icing on the cake, maliciously hiding coupons from millions of consumers is next level scummy

And apparently there's even more. This is a two parter video, so the next video should be coming up sometime exposing who else this scam stole from.

Paypal can get fucked and I'm gonna see about finding an alternative.

All my years of hating this POS extension finally validated!! I knew something was fishy.

I think I installed it for a second not long after it first came out. Quickly realized it's not what they kept trying to claim it was and got rid of it. Just always felt like it was a big scam to me.

and on a related note, don't get Pie, it's largely the same people

(plus flooding youtube with ads for an ad blocker reeks of creating a problem and selling the solution, not to mention fuck people like that on principle)

Ah tale as old as time! If you can't sell a consumer on a problem they have, create one.

Good to know that my instincts didn't fool me and that it was the right decision not to use it after all.

Tho I really don't like that he cut up the video into essentially three parts, like we're talking about Honey doing illegal stuff now, there's no reason to hold back this info but oh well

I watched this vid too. Was super interesting!!

I never installed honey, felt way too good to be trueeeee.

If you ever have to ask yourself how something makes money, the answer is probably "you"!

tinydragon.art•63 days ago

I never did either. And yeah, that's a decent policy when a corporation's involved.
