Hi Adam I wrote a message on your video Ethan needs to answer to this ore something like that.. dont remember the title specifickely (english second language) you mentioned Hasan positively and I just felt like saying something because i fear you dont see the other side.. that he is not sourcing in a honest way and there is a lot of drama behind him sorry for the wording if it doesnt make sense. Watched you since last summer and all that shit so again a headsup Ethan did you so wrong and hi to all the muckers have a great Christmas and tour😊

[@oeurydice]

Ngl I'm at the point where if a company advertises primarily through KZbin sponsorships, I automatically assume it's a scam or, at the very least, a poor quality product. The only exceptions are if it's something that ties in with the KZbinr's niche - like, for example, dice companies collaborating with DnD channels, etc.

[@hoennfanboy]

Exactly this. Its a mediocre product at best (raycon earbuds for example) and upsold to hell, or a straight up scam. These companies rely on people who's audience trusts them. I would strongly recommend never buying or downloading anything that youtubers sponsor simply as a precaution bc this happens all the time. Also its just really easy to search on reddit etc about sponsored products and see what people actually think of them (im shading raycons again lol)

[@jenelam2831]

Same! Outside of mobile games too, I really do like Love and Pies for example. But yes I fully agree! I keep seeing some KZbinrs promote this Pie browser extension now that’s supposed to save money and I’m not even gonna touch that.

That’s honestly why I never got it- I got close to it a few times, but I knew there must be a subscription fee or some kind of catch- to get discounts usually online you have to already have the main brand apps installed and or go onto websites that show you deals with random brands that do deals on bundles usually still having to pay a minimum in ordering x

I literally just watched this honey video a couple hours ago, I'm sat mama 11:09 YES thank you for actually saying this bc I've been thinking about this a lot lately. When people first started offering youtubers sponsorships people would get PISSED. Like actually angry at their fav creators calling them a sellout. Accepting a sponsorship used to make you the devil and now it's just an integral part of how content creators make money, and it happened so quickly.

The thing is that when Honey first came out it WAS actually really useful so many people actually liked it once they did download it and told their friends too. Then Elon Musk bought it and it literally stopped being useful, that's when I deleted it. It's just annoying these weird scammy companies do something "good" to get people hooked in and then switch up.

[@please_im_a_staaar]

As someone who works in IT I can say that companies and devs are HYPER aware of the way user's intuition works. We know that a user will think of the "Got it" button as a "Close" button that simply closes a window or a button that takes you to the next step in a form. If we try to prey on that user intuition and do something else behind the scenes that's not there to help the current user interaction then that's deception. We're using the user as a tool to scam. The user is not at fault because they don't know what they're doing. It's like if a person on one side of the wall presses the "turn off lights" button, assuming it will only turn off lights, they press, lights turn off but they don't know that at the same time another person on the other side of the wall gets electrocuted as the button gets pressed. Who's at fault the person or the one who designed it to work this way?

[@sadietaylorsversion00]

hi fellow IT nerd

[@scblei9848]

So if you press the little x in the top right instead does honey not get the money, bc there’s often an x. I’ve never gotten why companies offer both

[@realsmosher53]

I cant believe people got upset the Charlie made a video about this saying "what does he add to this video??" Not all commentary KZbinrs are like sniper wolf and add nothing. Making videos like these is important for getting the word out to people who wouldn't have seen this video because they aren't in that content space. Thank you for sharing and spreading the word on the honey scam!!

[@sadietaylorsversion00]

i’m glad i saw charlie’s video because it was the first i saw, and it was interesting to see someone who was sponsored by honey at some point acknowledging something they didn’t even know about

[@Sleepingwei]

For real. I didn’t even know about any of it until Charlie covered it. Afterwards, I got the original recommended and watched it but I probably wouldn’t have watched it if I didn’t have any prior knowledge. Not to mention Charlie also says that the original video is more in depth and to watch it, so it’s not like he’s trying to take the views

[@kylerray6984]

Better Help has also been know to scam, fun fact. I feel like lots of KZbinrs already know, they just want that bag and the audience is chill and understanding for the most part. At least for the people I watch.

I’m a small niche business owner and I have a feeling I already know what his second video is gunna touch on because I’ve seen it happen. I often make private coupon codes for friends, contest winners, special occasions, business deals etc. if the people I gave that private code to have honey while they use that code and honey saves and shares it. . That 75% off coupon, if it gets used by tons of customers that can ruin a business.

[@QueenNAL420]

When I recently used a code they didn't have they asked me if I wanted to save it.

[@magickaldust1213]

As a business owner- can't you make the codes "one time use"? Or does it depend on the platform the business does sales through? Genuinely curious

[@theBestElliephant]

​@@magickaldust1213 My guess would be yeah, but if you wanna give more than one person the code or have one person use it multiple times, you'd have to go make individual codes for them every time they want to buy anything, which can be a bit time consuming. Compare that to having a standard friends&family code you only have to make once that they can use whenever they want, it doesn't make sense. Unless you _know_ someone is stealing that code, of course.

[@TheMunchkinita2509]

Honey basically works like the mafia with their "protection" scam, but with small businesses. If you're a small business and choose not to work with them and pay them that way, then they'll release the highest coups they can to make that company lose money. Then they'll go back to the company and tell them that if they work with Honey, they can set the coupons to never go above a certain amount. Honey is diabolicaly evil.

Which was nice, but you get what I mean

33:02 that reminds me of that one quote from The Owl House ("what game are you playing?" "capitalism! where everyone wins...except you")

I can provide some insight into the discount codes not showing up thing. Some affiliate programs make it so that discount codes are specific to one affiliate, and that if a customer clicks on someone else’s link and THEN uses the discount code, it’ll still be attributed to the original affiliate who ‘owns’ the code and the affiliate who poached the code wouldn’t get any commission

[@Faithpmicky]

AYYYYYY MADE IT EARLY! So I’ll be honest, it was an easy sign up FOR ME personally, but it gave me some discounts and where I was financially, I truly did need it… or so I THOUGHT. So to me this is CRAZY to find out… WE CAN’T HAVE ANYTHING NICE AROUND HERE😭🤣

[@aidencopycat]

i’ve used honey for a while and honestly damn i should have seen that this was too good to be true. it hasn’t been finding me any codes for a while tho so it might be time to cut the cord 😭

i just commented this under the original video, but i don't know if anyone remembers one time when Ethan had mentioned that honey was so effective that he had to manually make it not work on teddy fresh lmfao.

To answer the Boxing Day question, I think it's primarily just a Commonwealth thing and isn't observed in many other countries outside of that. I found that out as a Canadian when I was in California over Christmas once, years ago, and found out that most Americans have no idea what Boxing Day is since it's not a thing there (which I found out the awkward way since I had no idea it wasn't a thing there either). lol

[@CaseyTyler357]

So glad you're covering this! Saw the video last night and was hoping more people in the commentary space would spread the word.

[@thetashamorgan]

I was playing the "guess the youtuber" game right with you Adam at the beginning of the video and i think i need to get a ticket to chronically online tour because i knew almost all of them lol

Im scottish for context, i LOVE boxing day, usually when youre younger boxing day is reserved for taking all your toys out their boxes and playing with them fully. As we got older it was more so for taking all your stuff up to your room and organizing it. Usually we do a breakfast “buffet” of warm buttered croissants and a spread of like jam, scrambled eggs, bacon, fried eggs, cheese etc and having your own toppings in a crosisant sandwich. Its my fav day ever cause i get to have a good ass breakfast and look through all the stuff i got properly

[@theglitchedrabidrabbit]

Omgggg Mother Mucker! My entire family woke up sick today and this totally brightens up my day

I just saw a video about this this morning. I’m glad you’re covering it and I can’t believe I’m here so early 😅

If Adam covered Gamers Nexus vs Linus Tech Tips it would be all my worlds colliding

i feel like it was nicki tutorials who made me understand the difference between sponsored, affiliate, gifted, etc, and i really appreciated how she broke it down and explained it to her audience back in the day

i kept seeing these videos and i swear i can only sit and watch drama when you cover it adam
