    In this case the class action would be youtubers and other content creators not users of Honey.

      Then it remains to be proven that it is illegal to poach affiliate links like that. Because Honey says they just follow strictly the “last click” rule that is common practice in the field.

      It’s bullshit but if that bullshit rule is indeed the standard practice then it will be hard to fight.

        That’s kind of like a looter invoking the ‘finders keepers’ defense. Last click isn’t a law.

            That’s okay, because there is a law about interfering with someone else’s contracted agreement.
