Follow up video from MegaLag on the Honey scandal.
I hate this thumbnail image.
That alone is enough for me to not watch it.
Right? It tickles something in the back of my brain that just makes me angry. I can’t really explain it. By all accounts, it’s a good video, but I just can’t get over the thumbnail.
I don’t watch any videos with these stupid faces and I hate when someone I follow suddenly starts doing it. ಠ_ಠ
I didn’t choose it (not my video).
I’d encourage you to watch it anyway, if you can get past the trauma…
He talks about how honey gets access to the codes by scraping every promo code submitted by the users. Doesn’t that mean that someone could automate something to submit false codes by the 100s whenever you are at checkout to fill PayPal with junk data? Making honey useless for everyone for that merchant because it can’t tell the real from the fake. An anti honey extension.
What’s PayPal going to do? Try to sue because the data they are illegally obtaining is being tainted? Obviously the codes wouldn’t work on merchants so they are fine in this.
This is basically already what my experience with honey was. Most of the codes didn’'t work.
Honestly thats my experience with most codes, in general.
Which is why those deal sites that give you codes are ultimately pointless, especially since they started making super specifically regional codes and other excessively extreme limitations that render it useless for everyone but one random guy that lives in a blue barn to the north east of a pig farm.
Oh, another MegaLag video about the honey situation.
Last time this happened, LTT had a psychotic meltdown and sic’d his base on GamersNexus for…reasons?
