Brother, not only is Mark not the only one (ppl think he was a prophet, he just connected the dots), he just parroted what others have said for years before him. If a company is alive, with a free product you use, 9 times outta 10 you're the moneymaker. Either that or there's some behind closed doors deals going on. The rare examples of it not the case are hard to find and verify to be true, and even then I'm still sus on. If anyone were to do the research into honey, they could've come to the same conclusions as this one dude (not mark, the honey vid guy). He just made it palatable and consumable. Just learn to research, learn to have fun being curious, and have fun doing research dives.

I think the most messed up part of this is how it affects random influencers. If you have Honey installed and use some creator's affiliate link, regardless of whether they have endorsed Honey or have a sponsorship, their affiliate cut will go straight to Honey. For creators that are sponsored by Honey, they at least got money from the sponsorship- but the others were just robbed.

6:30 this is like saying "i take all your advertising money because i got someone to click on the video in the first place." it doesn't matter if its transparent or not. You deserve the advertising money cause you put in the work. Not someone else.

[@wrmsnicket]

Unless the person selling you the product made the product themselves, this isn’t a good analogy. Ludwig is right, the best practice is to make it clear to the consumer who is getting the credit for the sale. This is why the analogy in the video is effective. If the cashier point-blank asked the customer who’s to be credited for the sale, they’d say the original salesman without hesitation. Now if Honey managed to save the customer a decent amount of money, they might be more open to sharing the credit with Honey or opting to give it all to Honey. But the customer is given no options and isn’t even aware of what’s happening. That’s the issue.

[@Robiness]

[@SB0418]

I think a lot of people don't seem to understand this affects everyone, not just creators who have been sponsored by honey. Linus was used as an example. But a smaller tech youtuber could have a referral link in their description. If the user clicks that referral link and has honey installed as an extension, then honey is most definitely taking the smaller tech channels commission. I say most definitely because like stated by megalag, who wouldn't want to click it to find a better deal. So it's not just 'millionaires' affected by this lol.

[@hyeonmu6576]

It's also dumb because the people saying "won't someone think of the poor millionaires" are ignoring that they're being stolen from by a company that can and did drop billions of dollars on a Chrome extension so they can make even more money.

[@Morphling92]

Shhh that’s the quiet part out loud. They don’t like that.

[@Kjf365]

Something like a VPN is a bit of a different scenario because it's a continuous subscription. They get that 40% of the initial payment, but then none of any subsequent renewals. So it's fine to kick a big chunk of change at the creators advertising it.

[@MrShinjiTabris]

@@Kjf365 It literally said they get 30% of renewals

[@Kjf365]

@MrShinjiTabris It's still less.

[@hanniballecter3790]

"If it's free, then you are the product."

[@Morphling92]

I mean… that’s probably some of it here. But this is just legit lying or stealing to get the commission. Or lying to get the “best coupon” but taking a cut from the retailer to suppress certain sales. If they are farming data, that’s just a cherry on top.

[@maxleveladventures]

The problem with this phrase is that it's a little misleading. It implies that you're not the product if you pay for the product. But we're all still products even for many of the things we pay for. Netflix, Amazon, credit lenders, etc., they're all profiting off data they collect from us, even though we're also paying them for a product/service. So we are product and consumer at the same time. This is why virtually every one of the largest corporations is also a tech corporation behind the scenes.

[@jasonschuler2256]

It’s worse than that. Companies like Google do that legally by having you sign away your privacy rights before you can use their products. This is literally not doing what they told us their product did. It’s false advertising, which is highly illegal.

[@edadankmemes]

This whole debacle does prove one thing: KZbinrs do actually use the products that they’re sponsoring.

[@Fool1999]

I think it depends on the product.

[@soundscape26]

I'm fairly sure none of them play Raid Shadow Legends and other crappy mobile games

[@sopboo9443]

Eh, depends on the product. I'm sure none of the youtubers use Raycon, play Raid Shadow Legends, use that air up bottle, etc. Even Honey, I think very few of them use it. Most of them are rich so I don't understand why they of all people need to save 2 dollars.

[@bluz1864]

​@@sopboo9443some people are just cheap or greedy so it is possible that a fair number of them use Honey.

[@Lucas-sk5iy]

@@soundscape26 The irony is that Raid isn't even actually a scam in a literal sense. Sure, it's a ptw gatcha game, but all of the game's pull rates are readily available, and all mtx show you exactly what you're getting before you buy them. On top of that, it's actually quite a mechanically complex game with a lot of depth and strategy, it's just held back by the gatcha aspect. Not that you should probably ever play it though.

[@Channel-xy2wj]

Because it’s hard to say if it’s really malicious in nature. They need to make money somehow, they make it by slightly less optimal discounts and by getting commission on sales. It’s not their fault last click is the standard practice, that’s just how it works. They aren’t purposefully stealing from content creators, they’re purposefully making them the last click, with a byproduct being that it overrides from content creators. The worst thing they’re doing is being secretive about it, but that’s the cost to the consumer for such a product. If anything it goes back to the whole idea of due diligence, creators should be aware of stuff like this. Honey will fight for money, creators should fight for money. It’s like Ludwig said it’s scummy but not illegal.

[@yukicakes]

@@Channel-xy2wj Are you insane? They know exactly what they're doing with this. The fact that they have popups that give you no discounts at all but try to make you click them to steal your last click is very telling. Ludwig didn't show it here but in the full video he shows how honey sometimes pops in just to stay "oops didn't find anything, click here to dismiss this" and then you click that and they steal the affiliate link. It's super scammy. On top of that, promising the best discounts but then selling to businesses the promise that they WON'T find the best discounts is another telling thing.

And, yes, the way they operate can almost be considered as malware. If it was any other less known extension doing the same, they could get BANNED from the browser extension store, and probably from the affiliate programs they try to participate to make the scheme (if catched), for example, after a while. And they would not make lots of money either, I would say, compared with Honey, wich is a MULTIBILLION valued company, with MILLIONS of users using it every day. It is in a whole different level.

This is a Ryan Reynolds and Green Lantern moment for Ludwig, in which he sees himself in the past and wishes it had not happened.

I dont think people actually understand what is being alleged. It's not that honey sells your data (they probably do) that's not a scam that's a business model, the same one on this website. It's that it switches referral codes and probably doesn't give you the best discount codes. The loser is the content creator not you. You don't lose anything

[@xelasneko]

"Sells your data" "You don't lose anything". Huh...it seems like we all lose except the company.

[@dumpsterplayer2700]

well they also hid the best code from you if the business paid them so..

[@kvaradona9248]

only if the consumer doesn't use coupon codes every time they shop

[@KuroFoxxo]

You missed the part where they don't even give you the best discount codes at times, and have apparently stolen *EXCLUSIVE* personal discount codes from consumers' email inboxes. Furthermore, consumers that use affiliate links to support their favorite creators lose because they don't know that the commission went to PayPal instead of the creator they wanted to support. Honey lets businesses control which legitimate coupon codes can be automatically inputted into checkout, which RESTRICTS savings, which was the opposite of the entire point of Honey.

They hide the good coupon codes from you and convince you there are no better alternatives, they also prioritize their own coupon codes. They advertise this to businesses, meaning the business can simply jack up their price by 10%, give Honey a 10% coupon code, and everybody wins except you who would've had a 30% discount on the original price.
