PayPal acquirer honey for the data of course but I still believe it will be a write off in a couple years. Those kind of browser extensions are really low user retention a doing term something will come along and people just move on to it. Their users all are price sensitive deal hunters and the moment something comes up they will move.
- donmcronald 7y agoIt’s crazy. - They’re beholden to the extension stores for distribution. - They probably hijack affiliate links which I personally think is a type of fraud. Regardless of the ethics, it’s detrimental to retailers that allow it because the real people driving traffic will give up. - They collect data that would otherwise be exclusive to the retailer. Why buy data from Amazon if Honey will sell you the same thing plus a bunch of other related data? There is ZERO upside for successful retailers like Amazon and a bunch of downside.
- takeda 7y agoSlightly unrelated, but they also faked reviews on chrome. Just compare reviews on Chrome vs reviews on Firefox.
