> Did you ever test for yourself to see that Honey was not finding you the best coupon? You can test this too. There’s a reason the second video is taking so long.

No. I further did not examine the extension's codebase or followed back its entire revision history. I also do not have access to their infrastructure, particularly their database of coupon codes, and any server side code. I also did not read through the multiple class action lawsuit documents. Not only that, but I also did not perform deeper examination of all the evidence provided. This would include:

- I did not reproduce his tests

- I did not listen to the hours of podcasts mentioned

- I did not independently research his claims

- I did not reach out to merchants for comments

- I did not try to gain insider information

- etc.

Instead, as you noticed, I'm discussing the points published by MegaLag and others, under the assumption that they're true, which the OP didn't claim otherwise - they instead were not even familiar with what was published seemingly. So whether what was published or not is actually true is actually a separate concern from my perspective.
