Here is the company that is suing Honey presenting their case.

Nothing wrong with the affiliate code overwrite IMO, survival of the fittest. The blacklisting coupons thing is the bigger fraud here. I couldn't help but notice that it never found coupons. I still have Honey installed at the moment just for the price charts to catch when Amazon is trying to ream me with a fake sale. Will happily replace it if someone has a better alternative.

Interested in seeing what exactly the second half of this video is about.

My company has an affiliate program, one affiliate started swamping us with traffic. I called it out as some kind of botnet bullshit, but was shouted down because of how much revenue this guy was supposedly generating... well long story short is he found an exploit for our affiliate program and was getting credit for any otherwise uncredited sales.

Better alternative for Amazon price charts: Camel Camel Camel. https://camelcamelcamel.com/

I remember the ads for Honey and never using it because Edge has had the same thing built in, including price charts like camel camel camel (really convenient for grocery shopping to see how much commonly purchased items have changed last year). Most of the time before I make a purchase I let Edge put every coupon in it has to see if anything applies to my purchase (I've had a lot of good luck with it).

Turns out Honey is doing something else shady. Honey has their own "adblocker" that well, read it here:



From a uBlock Origin Developer:

Actually, the extension seems to use even more of uBO's own lists, not just Quick Fixes.
Much worse, they are literally using actual code from uBO to run these filters.
You can simply open the files and look for ubo or ublock. There's a lot of matches.
Even if we disregarded using our filter lists while not being a GPL software, using a GPL licensed code while breaking the license in a huge overreach.

I guess there's nothing to be surprised about considering the recent articles about honey being a scam, which you're free to research on your own.

P.S. I also find it funny that YouTube ads seems to be pushing this "adblocker" onto everyone who encounter ads there recently.
