    were you not paying attention or have you already forgotten that Honey is scamming the very content creators who shilled it (and others) by hijacking their affiliate links via cookie stuffing? By using Honey you’re actively fucking over people who get income from affiliate marketing.

      Ok maybe I didn’t understand the other comment cause I have no idea what Honey is. The site I use is not really advertised (at least I’ve never seen any ads or influencers for it).

      Edit: Oh omg lol I thought they were saying honey as like someone talking to their spouse (like in the comic). Reading comprehension is weak. idk wtf that app is.

      tbh: I don’t care about other people’s affiliate links - they only sell bs anyway. what would scare me much more, is what they are willing to do to ppl like you and me. if they are willing to fuck around with ‘influencers’, which can have quite a bit of money and reach - to what extent are they ok to fuck around with ppl, that don’t have any money?
