So it turns out a service many YouTubers have been promoting (Honey) to their audience actually stole affiliate revenue from themselves. Is that a nasty backfire of the tendency influencers have to promote anything without investigating first as long as there's money involved?
You could say so, but in this case, to the influencers' credit, almost nobody noticed this was going on.
Btw, that's not the only way Honey was scamming people. They also advertised themselves as searching the internet for the cheapest possible coupons, saying if they can't find it, it doesn't exist, and meanwhile they were charging affiliate companies to allow them to control what coupons show up on their sites, so, the smallest coupons.
