  • Everyone else is only talking about the scummy affiliate revenue stealing, but that’s been public info for a while.

    The more alarming stuff is that they partner with businesses to manage the coupon codes shown on Honey. If a business doesn’t want consumers to have discounts below a certain percentage, they can remove those coupons from Honey. This means that Honey no longer does the thing that it’s advertised to do, and they’re getting paid affiliate revenue after lying to consumers.

    YouTube is not replaceable because it’s the only reliable way for VOD creators to monetize their content effectively without a paywall. No other VOD platform comes close.

    If creators can’t monetize their content effectively, they’re not going to upload to that platform.
