The fact Markiplier predicted this scam like 5 years ago is wild
1:25 Just so y’all know: Honey had 20M users before the Megalag story broke out.
Honey has never found me a deal, not once. Glad to see them going under.
Any product that has massive "influencer" marketing push is an instant *RED FLAG* for me
...if the product is free, then you're the product...
It’s funny how they named it after a honey trap. One of the most common ways to compromise somebody and get what you want from them.
Moral of this story: creators don't really check what they promote if the bag is big enough
The fact that no one of the "tech channels" that promoted honey could research about how they earned money (and the one who did didn't care about making it public) really speaks volumes about their credibility.
Sir, another MegaLag video has hit the algorithm
