Pie also removed its footer reference to being the team that made Honey and then deleted all of the team photos from the who are we page. They seem to understand cookies and affiliate links well but aren’t versed in the way back machine.
The ethical standards of everyone involved with Honey/Pie are deplorable and they should be outcast from the software industry.

For context, this all started about 2 weeks ago with one of the best pieces of investigative journalism I've seen on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc4yL3YTwWk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc4yL3YTwWk And it's spiraling from there into lawsuits etc. I'm kinda glad PayPal bought them as they can't just shut down and file bankruptcy. Hopefully some of these creators will get paid out for lost revenue.
- HeyTomesei 2y agoGreat find. I noticed the photos disappeared yesterday, but didn't catch that footer reference change. Sadly, Ryan Hudson knows how to play the game and Pie (with its charming .org domain) is on a roll --- already hit 1M downloads just 9 months after its launch and grown to 10+ Engineers/20+ employees. Shameless. On the bright side, LegalEagle also called out Pie in the video. Hopefully that'll help shine a light on them.
