🖕 Fuck PayPal
And fuck Linus Tech Tips for intentionally keeping quiet about this after they found out.
What I don’t understand is why LMG kept quite about this. No matter how much PayPal paid them it wouldn’t be more than how much they would be making with affiliate links also why join hands with karma which is also doing same and stealing from them.
Next you’ll tell me penis enlargement pills don’t work and my Nigerian prince isn’t going to pay me back.
If you’re sitting at a poker table and you can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.
Alternately, if you look at an online service and can’t tell what the product is, It’s you.
Yeah always look for where a service gets its money from before you get anything.
By now, you’ve probably heard about Honey.
Nope, I guess because my ad blockers work and I skip over in-feed ads 🤷
A lot of podcasts plug it. I’ve never bothered with it.
Yeah I deleted honey a while ago just because it was owned by PayPal and it probably sells all your data. Just one extra reason to add to the pile.
The idea of honey is good though any possibilities of an open source version?
Okay but why fuck PayPal.
Maybe start at the trustpilot reviews.
Almost as scummy as the concept of a YouTuber using affiliate links.
