🖕 Fuck PayPal

And fuck Linus Tech Tips for intentionally keeping quiet about this after they found out.

    By now, you’ve probably heard about Honey.

    Nope, I guess because my ad blockers work and I skip over in-feed ads 🤷

    If you’re sitting at a poker table and you can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.

    Alternately, if you look at an online service and can’t tell what the product is, It’s you.

      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.

    That’s scummy, but I don’t care if your ads for amazon on your blog or whatever don’t work. Not my problem.
