Pretty sure this was already posted yesterday when it came out. Or it might have been a different community.

Watching the full video is important though because they are scamming the consumer too, not just """influencers""". Someone made a great comment about how it's just one greedy troll stealing from another and has no effect on the consumer since they still save money but Honey not actually giving you the best coupons on purpose is next level dickholery.

Lying about the coupons really should be the focus so people stop harming themselves using Honey.

    See, I'm torn. I've never used honey, so I was never scammed. However I do think them scamming consumers is awful.

    Buuuuuuuut, I DO enjoy the fact that they scammed influencers.

    I used Honey before thr PayPal purchase and it did have working discount codes, as well as a cashback thing that I redeemed a couple times. But I haven't had any codes work for a long time.

    I don't have any love for influencers but they have the right to make money IMO, and it's completely shitty behavior for honey to be taking that away from them.

    I never use affiliate links AND I don't bother looking for coupons (let's be honest, who does?) so I don't give a crap, every now and then I'm saving money without taking it from anyone 🀷

    idk, I find the coupon thing to be super easy. Just takes one search and maybe two clicks if you have ad blockers on. Mostly the only time is if I'm ordering something like pizza for a get together where no special applies. There's a local chain in my state that had a coupon code for half off my order that wasn't listed on their site (they might've given it to me if I called but who knows). Been using that for the past year and it allows me to convince everyone to go there instead of a national chain. I've also been lucky with some manufacturers coupons for products I'm ordering straight from them, it's more rare though so it's hit or miss sometimes.
