Honeys issues are two fold:

Honey steals/replaces affiliate links/cookies meaning 100% of the commission earned by creators goes to Honey instead.

Several small creators have come out to say this has essentially bankrupt their channels as the entirety of their affiliate revenue just disappears overnight, then their sponsors pullout because it appears they are generating no traffic.

Honey also collude directly with retailers to control exactly what coupons are made available to you, explicitly preventing you from getting a better deal; while telling you they’ve gotten the best deal possible and convincing you to not even bother with other coupons or other sources. They even have a mechanism to ‘submit’ coupons they hadn’t applied to be distributed to other customers, to convince you you’re helping others get a good deal; but those submissions NEVER go to customers.

This happens on every transaction within a browser that has Honey installed; even in cases where Honey knows before trying, that they don’t have coupons to offer. It will still popup, tell you they don’t have anything to offer, then replace the affiliate connection with their own.

Through this they are stealing both from the customer and from any creators/affiliates that sent that customer to the store.

Yeah; I only ever see his content when the drama spills into other channels now.

I miss the days of small-time LTT doing silly projects like whole-room water cooling. :/

It’s changed a few times today too.

It was this:

They then replaced the middle image with: (I forgot to grab a screenshot at the time, grabbed this from google images)

Now the page shows just:

The ASCII art is also no longer in the page source as of writing.

/edit:

Just noticed, all the images on the page are hosted by ‘imagedelivery.net’ and there’s several references to x.com

Americas citizens voted them into the highest office in the land (either directly or passively).

There is no more ‘get this approved’; just ‘this is what I’ve decided, deal with it’.

It’s sad that this actually belongs in Not The Onion…

Tariff the globe, deport 1/3 of the country, reverse foreign tech bans…

There’s a lot to do ‘on day one’.

But I’m catching a lot of the heat here because I’m the one who decided to do a LOT of the explaining.

A big part of that is probably that almost none of the mods listed in the sidebar are active.

There’s not many places to direct the attention atm.

Why do we hate the mods over one small decision?

Because it wasn’t their decision to make.

Not wanting to moderate the LBZ community and move to a new one, is one thing; but to close down the existing community and tell those users they MUST move where you want them to crosses a line.

The community isn’t cattle to be herded where ever the mods desire. The fact that they tried - with NO consultation of the community - has eradicated the communities faith in the mod team.

Yes. For about 18 hours yesterday.

OOTL

What’s the deal with Marvel Snap?

Also interesting that RedNote isn’t among this list.

Dude needs to eat more fiber…

So poorly optimised you need future technology to run it isn’t the future proofing strategy I’d go with, but ok…

Lmao, yup. Prowlarr found one single release on TPB.

It does have those ‘property of Netflix’ watermarks and timestamps throughout though.

Good. What an awful concept. A whole bunch of extra screwing around trying to keep products aligned with what’s on screen along with maintenance and running costs; just so you can piss off your customers with a worse experience and waste more of their time with advertising nobody wants.

TikTok’s fate in the U.S. now lies in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump, who originally favored a TikTok ban during his first administration

…

Trump began to speak more favorably of TikTok after he met in February with billionaire Republican megadonor Jeff Yass. Yass is a major ByteDance investor who also owns a stake in the owner of Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform.

Stop the ban or we’ll burn your own platform to the ground.

Twist the tigers tale 10 times and get bitten.

Most creatures: don’t twist the tigers tail.

Us: …what about 9 twists…?

No, now I just get more frustrated with bugs because I can infer where a simple mistake was made and how to fix it; if only someone could/would actually look at it.

Buuut labour relations and budgeting n all that corporate jazz… Can’t expect the monkeys to code if your not handing out bananas.

I was gonna say; not a lot of other creatures setup industrial farms… If you want to survive as a plant species, making humans like you isn’t a terrible strategy.

Meh, ‘block’ and move on. Same as that stupid ‘media bias fact checker’ thing in the news communities.

When you search for ‘signs of dementia’ and all the links are purple (visited) already…
