The moment I saw influencers talk about Honey (through Linus Tech Tips IIRC), I though of it as a company that is going to replace the referral codes with their own that will most likely sell all the web browsing data and other analytics of the users. I thought most of the readers I have on HIVE will figures out this on their own.
Few days ago I came across this video and I watched it expecting to confirm what I was expecting in the first place. The video did not even have a million views at the time. I forgot to share it around and today I see the same video with 11 million views and more channels talking about it.
The most surprising part was that Honey was bought for 4 billion dollars by PayPal and the company was far more nefarious than selling user data + "stealing" referral rewards. Honey was far worse than my initial assumption and PayPal is an even worse company than I thought. Watch the full video that is backed by a solid research.
