elilla, quarantined on Nostr: heard about the new scandal being about Honey (no relation), but as a SponsorBlock ...

heard about the new scandal being about Honey (no relation), but as a SponsorBlock user I had no idea what's a Honey or even heard of it. now that I finally watched the video:
- it's Paypal
- it's a Paypal browser app
- it's heavily marketed by influencers
- what it does is it promises you coupons or points during online purchases
- what it actually does is to find any excuse to rewrite cookies (!) and flat out steal the affiliate links commission, right before you click "buy" on any online store
- including the commission from the influencers advertising Honey
- Paypal the extremely wealthy company literally wrote an "every purchase was referred by us" browser extension

this is kinda hilarious in a dystopia way. when you have capital you can just go and grab more money
