If you haven't seen it, Honey (owned by PayPal) and Phia, have been caught stealing referral attributions. These are often small content creators.

They also rarely find genuine discounts. Avoid using them.

Ah yes, another shitty product from Nazi supremacist Peter Thiel.

It wasn't just stealing from content creators, they were also offering manufacturer coupons that were not meant for public availability. Their model was just scraping everything off of buy pages.

Wasn't this like last year? If not older, I have no sense of time.
