It’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.

It’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.
