Paypal -> Honey Extension

Dontknow · 2024-12-23T16:25:16.331357Z

Hallo Community, ich bin da auf ein interessantes Video gestoßen. Kurz und knapp geht es darum: Paypal hat Honey gekauft. Das ist eine Erweiterung (Addon) für Chrome. Influencer bewerben Honey mit ihrem Ref-link Honey ersetzt aber den Reflink gegen ihren eigenen um Profit zu erwirtschaften. Influencer bekommt nichts Rabattcodes gibt es gar nicht Ich hab mein Gewinn veräußert ... leider schon früher aber immer noch mit Gewinn. Wie glaubhaft das Video für den ein oder anderen ist, überlasse ich jedem selbst. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc4yL3YTwWk

Hello community,

I came across an interesting video.

In a nutshell, it's about this:

Paypal has bought Honey. This is an extension (add-on) for Chrome.
Influencers advertise Honey with their ref-link
Honey replaces the reflink with its own to generate profit.
Influencer gets nothing
Discount codes do not exist

I have sold my profit ... unfortunately earlier but still at a profit. How credible the video is for one or the other is up to you.

I saw that video yesterday, and thought exactly what you thought…

Don't I check? So this Honey makes a profit with ref links, that's good

@Soprano Honey exchanges the ref links from Content Creator with her own.
Perhaps a simple example:
Youtuber makes a video, this is sponsored by company X. He receives a fixed amount and a referral link where he is promised a percentage X if a user buys via the link. The Youtuber makes an effort to advertise the product well and puts a lot of work into it. The user clicks on the link knowing that it will help the Youtuber (this is where community building plays a major role). If Honey (PayPal) now exchanges the link and pockets the profit itself, the Youtuber has worked for PayPal for free. With my non-existent knowledge of law, I would see that as fraud. 😅
There are also other allegations, but these will probably be discussed in the next video.

@Naaf That's how I understood it ... but why are they doing it? In principle, I have nothing against influencers having the butter taken off their bread, but how can that be their business model?

@Soprano phew, I can't say whether it's justified to piss off influencers. 😅
Well Honey does it because it's possible and nobody seems to have really noticed it yet.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg from the video. + there's at least one more video coming for Honey

I also saw it and if the things in the video are true, then I wouldn't be surprised if this has significant consequences for PayPal. Of course, it remains to be seen whether it is actually illegal.
