The Honey browser extension, a tool widely promoted by social media influencers for finding discounts, is facing allegations of misleading practices. YouTuber MegaLag claimed in a recent video that Honey, owned by PayPal, selectively displays discount codes at checkout, prioritizing those that benefit its business partners over better deals available to users.
MegaLag explained that Honey sometimes shows smaller discounts, such as 5% off, even when more significant savings, like 30%, are available. This practice reportedly occurs because Honey partners with businesses that dictate which codes are promoted, potentially costing consumers money. He further alleged that these actions contradict the extension’s promise to provide the best deals automatically. ORIGNAL SOURCE
