My guess any person who shared affiliate links have good grounds for being part in a lawsuit. Not only they did not receive any money from PayPal for promoting Honey they had their affiliates stolen.

Honey will likely try to cop out by claiming the affiliate only changes if the user clicks the button and thats intent.

I feel like they could maybe argue that when Honey is used and actually applies a coupon and saves the user money. But when they click the “OK” button to dismiss the pop-up that says “sorry, we didn’t find any coupons for you”, there’s absolutely no excuse for stealing the affiliate cookie.
