Yeah always look for where a service gets its money from before you get anything.

A lot of podcasts plug it. I've never bothered with it.

Yeah I don't understand the faux outrage here, but maybe that's because I'm not in a parasocial relationship with these influencers.

I always wondered how Honey made any money, so this answers that question and is actually a pretty ingenious (if somewhat underhanded) mechanism.

Exposing the "PIE" Influencer Disaster - (Same Developers as HONEY)

After an excellent video highlighting the predatory practices of "Honey" (made by "MegaLag")... I wanted to add my voice, and talk about an offshoot of that same company (with the same founders, staff, and apparent business model) that seems to go even one step further, and position itself as a detriment to the entire social media Creator ecosystem.

After Honey was successful in tricking almost all of YouTubes largest influencers (from Mr Beast, all the way to MoistCritikal) it was then seemingly acquired by PayPal, with this new project from its founder popping up, as we are given a rare opportunity to be pro-active in the pursuit of shutting down predatory practices on YouTube... before they officially take root.

I mean, if these guys are willing to do morally reprehensible stuff like this, then it should just be expected that they would do the same kind of thing for whatever new products they develop.

They own Honey

Because they paid 4 billion to a fraud company lol. Also PayPal in general is pretty damn scummy.

Maybe start at the trustpilot reviews.
