Scam IAW MegaLag "Exposing the Honey Influencer Scam"

Just learned this PayPal-supported addon has been stealing for many years by replacing other people's referral codes without consent. Somebody should contact the authorities. This is a big crime.

- steals affiliate links from other sponsors
- attaches itself as an affiliate if the extension is merely interacted with
- withholds coupons from purchases
- trivializes returns via Honey Gold

scam

Has been found (like other add-ons of its kind) to overwrite commission cookies through opening and closing tabs discretely to simulate user clicks. This happens regardless of if a coupon is found. Simply by interacting with the pop-up, Honey will carry out the above behaviors.

Hides better coupons from customers by implying no better deals exist and frequently suggests coupons that are part of a brand affiliation deal, which will potentially give Honey a financial kickback.

None of the above listed behaviors are disclosed in any way to end-users or creators promoting the "service" and were only found through years long investigations by 3rd party scam/fraud investigators.

I would not install this malware on my worst enemy's browser.

SCAM. FRAUD. DO NOT INSTALL

It turns out Honey is scamming creators and users out of millions to fund their corrupt enterprise. Go google it.

"Best coupons", my ass. They pick the worst coupons that they've curated so they can take a bigger cut of the discount for themselves, as well as hijacking affiliate links to take the commission instead of the actual affiliate.
