Honey, a popular browser extension owned by PayPal, is the target of one YouTuber's investigation that was widely shared over the weekend—over 6 million views in just two days. The 23-minute exposé posted to YouTube accuses Honey of misrepresenting itself to consumers, ripping off influencers, and engaging in questionable practices like opening hidden tabs to simulate referral links, ensuring commission on any online sale.
The video was posted by MegaLag, a content creator from New Zealand who creates investigative videos about technology; he’s previously posted investigations into EnChroma, the glasses built for color-blind folks, and DHL.
