If you are trying to buy something through an affiliate link of your favorite YouTuber, and you use honey, then the YouTube gets nothing and honey gets the commission.

scam

Honey is a scam that hurts content creators and consumers. PayPal should be ashamed of itself!

I no longer feel safe keeping this extension running or installed with access to all of my browsing after the recent reveal of their unsavory business practices

Is a scam.

Partners with businesses to hide the best coupon codes instead of giving you them as advertised AND poaches affiliate links for themselves even if they don't find a coupon. The rewards program is equally terrible, giving you pennies while they're making $30+. Avoid this add-on like the plague, Honey does not care about saving you money, they in fact try to save you the least amount of money as possible while raking in as much money for themselves.
