    It is about Honey hijacking the referrals, which wasn’t known until a youtuber made a video about it (or at least not widely known)

      Yes, they’ve been doing this since even before PayPal bought them. This is how they’ve always made money.

      This is why I don’t trust Brave Browser. They did this in the past. Well, I don’t know if they replaced referrals but they added them when they weren’t there.
