Wait, when did Paypal buy Honey? 😳
This isn't anything new. Brave browser does this, ad hijacking is a common thing. Many companies have been doing this for years, why is it only coming up now?
The best time to burn down a poisonous tree was 20 years ago etc etc

Literally just watched that. I agree with his consideration that that's fraud.
I am so disconnected from this influencer thing that I first heard about Honey when news were pushing that it was a scam. I'm just living under a rock and sometimes that saves my butt, I guess.
They sponsored a podcast that I listen to, and that's how I heard about it. I don't buy stuff online often enough for it to be useful, though, and I'm wary about installing stuff like that anyway.
I guess that podcast has egg on their faces now.
Can we make a version of this add-on that replaces the links with a choice of charity links?
Might as well do some good in the chaos of the internet.
