This thing is naked spyware. If they scammed the channels that shilled this shit, good.

They aren't scamming the channels that shilled it, they're scamming affiliate advertisers in general. This includes the people advertising Honey, but also includes all kinds of other YouTubers who earn commissions from affiliate links.

I don't particularly care. That thing never passed the sniff test and anyone who wasn't immediately wary of it probably isn't intelligent enough to be on the internet anyway.
