TLDW: MegaLag found code and rules in the Honey extension that modifies behaviour specifically to make discovery of non-compliance with affiliate programs and affiliate poaching harder for testers. This behaviour has been in place since 2017 at least.

    His Honey videos are hopefully going down in history as one of the greatest fraud discoveries.

    When I started watching them (and he isn’t even done yet), I expected it to be bad because of PayPal. It is…so. much. worse.

    Absolutely vile practices and I look forward to lawsuits from all angles against them.
