I don't like how this is a big thing now. Like - whaaat, big evil co. ™️ (paypal) is evil? -
Most tech companies do evil stuff that are technically allowed although immoral, and they still bring some benefit in some way. What honey did was not only immoral, but most likely illegal, and screwed literally everyone. At least amazon and google have horrific monopolies, but they bring useful products (in some way).
one could argue that PayPal also brings useful products, but phuck companies, so no, they are just as evil, obvobv.
Paypal absolutely, but honey does not. Investigation by megalag showed that it purposefully did not give the best experience in terms of coupone codes, if any at all, and experience from users seem to confirm that honey does not try to provide any real service, only scam customers, creators and shops. Paypal as a company should be held responsible
I think we all watched that. Didn't he say in that that honey is just a PayPal thing?
They crossed the line, they affected youtubers
Not just that; they collude with webshops to purposefully not show you the best deal. Webshops which sign up can select their target discount, if any.
So, besides affiliate hijacking, it is also false advertising.
oh no, poor youtubers
I don't like its being made a big thing...
