🖕 Fuck PayPal
And fuck Linus Tech Tips for intentionally keeping quiet about this after they found out.
If you’re sitting at a poker table and you can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.
Alternately, if you look at an online service and can’t tell what the product is, It’s you.
Yeah always look for where a service gets its money from before you get anything.
By now, you’ve probably heard about Honey.
Nope, I guess because my ad blockers work and I skip over in-feed ads 🤷
A lot of podcasts plug it. I’ve never bothered with it.
Almost as scummy as the concept of a YouTuber using affiliate links.
What I don’t understand is why LMG kept quite about this. No matter how much PayPal paid them it wouldn’t be more than how much they would be making with affiliate links also why join hands with karma which is also doing same and stealing from them.
That’s scummy, but I don’t care if your ads for amazon on your blog or whatever don’t work. Not my problem.
Yeah I deleted honey a while ago just because it was owned by PayPal and it probably sells all your data. Just one extra reason to add to the pile.
The idea of honey is good though any possibilities of an open source version?
