    The very first time I saw an ad for Honey I knew there had to be a catch. Nothing is ever free.

    It wasn’t immediately obvious how they were going to make money, though. I figured they’d just sell gather and sell user data. I had completely forgotten about affiliate links. But they probably also sell your data for good measure.

      I’ve never seen an ad for honey, not heard of it’s existence before this video.

      Ad blocking is the way

        Hmm ad blocking is not enough, because many YouTubers sponsor Honey inside of their videos. Maybe you also use Sponsorblock.
