The article mentions that HMA makes/made money via affiliate programs, but also that there were no intrusive ads or popups. Does that mean it would hijack users' normal shopping activity when signed on to HMA by injecting their own affiliate codes to make commissions? I think that kind of behavior would violate most of those commission programs' terms of use.
- WiseWeasel 11y agoI read it to mean they ran their own affiliate program where affiliates could run links to sign up for HMA services, with commission payouts when traffic converts through those links (signs up for a paid HMA account). Nothing affecting the VPN traffic itself.
