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?

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