I wonder if Honey’s new ad blocker Pie does things like this too.

Exposing the “PIE” Influencer Disaster - (Same Developers as HONEY)
After an excellent video highlighting the predatory practices of “Honey” (made by “MegaLag”)… I wanted to add my voice, and talk about an offshoot of that same company (with the same founders, staff, and apparent business model) that seems to go even one step further, and position itself as a detriment to the entire social media Creator ecosystem.
After Honey was successful in tricking almost all of YouTubes largest influencers (from Mr Beast, all the way to MoistCritikal) it was then seemingly acquired by PayPal, with this new project from its founder popping up, as we are given a rare opportunity to be pro-active in the pursuit of shutting down predatory practices on YouTube… before they officially take root.

I mean, if these guys are willing to do morally reprehensible stuff like this, then it should just be expected that they would do the same kind of thing for whatever new products they develop.
