I dunno, I stopped a while back, it wasn't hard really. I've also heard that while they are usually fine with regular sums of money they are not to be trusted with large sums. Just word of mouth an I've got no proof but it put me off.

Deleted my ebay account but very rarely will buy on it. I've yet to find a UK alternative.

The best time to burn down a poisonous tree was 20 years ago etc etc

Agreed. I remember enjoying their workshop videos a long time ago, but they can't even be trusted for PC building info, much less anything else.

Shit! You are right. Thats horrible. And explains why he freaks me out.

Mr Beast literally shadow banned the word teeth from his YT comments. It's hilarious.

They're one of the largest tech media companies and deliberately chose to sweep this under the rug instead of reporting on it. Then they took sponsorships from Karma, which is a competitor to Honey that does the exact same thing.

See also: RayCons headphones, which appear to be unilaterally bullshit but were on absolutely every video for a couple of months, touted as being the very best.

Or, just don't trust ads period

Do your own research

Was it all that surprising to you though?

By the time honey hit the scene we had been ten years into "sketchy Browser extension that monitors your browsing habits and injects ads"

I guess getting flogged by your favorite influencer ads a veneer of legitimacy for a lot of people.

I don't mind things that are an actual thing to buy. I want to research it first--you can get a better electric razor than Manscaped for not much more--but at least it's clear how they make their money. Honey was obviously getting money from someone other than their users, and that's an immediate red flag.
