Honey is a scam

I don't know if 16M views counts as a lot on YouTube, but I hope I can at least give it a few more. The way this company operates is sleazy as hell to the point I can't believe its owners haven't been arrested for wire fraud.

TL;DW: Not only does Honey track and sell your browsing data, as all big closed-source browser extensions do, and not only does it actively steal money from people who have promoted it by swapping out referral codes, but it doesn't even do its main job of searching for available coupon codes!
