Honey loses over 7 million users and 7,000 stores following YouTuber’s viral expose

It wasn't just stealing from content creators, they were also offering manufacturer coupons that were not meant for public availability. Their model was just scraping everything off of buy pages.
Wasn't this like last year? If not older, I have no sense of time.
