  • I can see how it happens though.

    No one was doing any oversight on their practices. If you were running a referral affiliate link system, it must have seemed like honey was doing a really good job bringing customers to you.

    I’m just kind of disappointed that nobody inside the company ever spoke up or blew any whistles and said “Hey, this is at best unethical if not entirely illegal and either way exposes us to the risk of a massive lawsuit, maybe we should just actually do our jobs instead of stealing the work of other people.”






  • There’s a very simple solution to this, and I’m honestly not quite sure why no one is doing it.

    Make ads voluntary. Make them separate from the rest of the experience.

    Make it so that you can watch ads and answer surveys based off of the ads in order to get credits which then allow you to watch videos.

    Alternatively, make it so that you can purchase the credits out right.

    Everyone fucking wins.

    I don’t know why people are so stupid as to not even contemplate the easiest and most satisfying solution to all of the problems.
