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

      Yeah I don’t understand the faux outrage here, but maybe that’s because I’m not in a parasocial relationship with these influencers.

      I always wondered how Honey made any money, so this answers that question and is actually a pretty ingenious (if somewhat underhanded) mechanism.
