| You're framing this in an extremely slanted way. > So honey is undeniably aiding in the sale. First of all, "undeniably" here is hyperbole. At best you could say "possibly, occasionally". You were already brought to site by a content creator, added the item to your cart, and are in the process of checking out. Why would a coupon code aggregator then deserve the commission for that sale? > It's not "literally doing nothing" to compile and automatically apply/suggest coupon codes. Even when they don't find a coupon code, they still take the commission for the sale. That is quite literally the definition of getting paid for doing nothing. > Is it valuable? Objectively, yes, hence the millions upon millions of users. Well, no. As the investigation revealed, Honey doesn't actually find any coupon code most of the time. In fact, this is intentional - they partner with retailers to limit the coupon codes they provide to shoppers. In other words they are intentionally providing negative value for the end user most of the time (when compared to searching the Web for a coupon code manually). You clearly either know nothing about the investigation, or are a Honey employee. |
That statement is emotionally charged and factually incorrect, multiple times over. I assume the rest of your reply is along the same lines and won't trouble myself reading it.
