What's the ratio of people deliberately clicking affiliate links, to people who just click links and have no clue what an affiliate link even is?
I already thought Honey was scummy so I never used it in the first place, but I honestly don't get the particular outrage over these specific practices. You're already using the extension to effectively scam online stores, by using coupons the company gave to somebody else, not you. I see it as barely more ethical than doing that old trick of generating your own manufacturer coupons. Probably it's a lot more legal, but ethically it's in the same ballpark.
