Honey runs a tab in the background that swaps the affiliate cookie to its own despite not finding any deals or offering any actual value to you, the shopper.
Megalag tested this (the video is on YouTube) and found instances where better codes were readily available online, but Honey CHOSE to use a code with a lower discount, while telling the consumer that it was the best deal.
Honey is not doing what it claims. It's doing the exact opposite. It's not finding the best deal for you; it's finding the deal that works best for the retailer.
Megalag even found a podcast where a Honey representative talked about Honey helping retailers by giving them control over how much discount the consumer received.
AVOID!!!
