Literally just watched that. I agree with his consideration that that's fraud.

This isn't anything new. Brave browser does this, ad hijacking is a common thing. Many companies have been doing this for years, why is it only coming up now?

I am so disconnected from this influencer thing that I first heard about Honey when news were pushing that it was a scam. I'm just living under a rock and sometimes that saves my butt, I guess.
