Is Honey a scam? The popular money-saving browser extension touted by YouTubers like MrBeast is accused of ripping off customers and influencers
PayPal purchased Honey for $4 billion in 2020.

Honey, owned by PayPal, is supposed to be a free browser extension that helps you save money by finding discount codes. But what it was actually doing was replacing affiliate links to pocket the full commission regardless of finding promo codes or not, basically taking money away from influencers and YouTubers who sent you to those pages. Even the discount codes it found were usually ones the website owners had already set up through deals with Honey. So in the end they made billions by taking money from consumers and influencers to line their own pockets. Classic identity fraud and ponzi scheme to make these things worse they also stole your data and sold them to advertisers to suck you out dry. One of the biggest scams in recent times. Jfl at these Jewish Shenanigans.
