All things considered it was one of the better ones though, Like, If I'd fallen for it, I probably wouldn't be complaining tbh. Sure, I can't call myself a lord, And I don't own a miniscule amount of land that was useless anyway, But those don't really matter to me. As far as I'm aware they *were* actually donating to charity and working to preserve the environment, Which I feel like is really the important part.
Fun fact: Established titles Is still going but now it's advertised as a gag gift; something you give to a friend to take the piss out of them. So basically they backtracked all their advertising and said:"It was a joke all along, why aren't you laughing?" I'd recomend this video about this, it's pretty good: th-cam.com/video/nGv5wl8gT3M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bEcPZieS-6MbKPzK
It's also sad that's the biggest controversy because there's so many other terrible scams and bad business being promoted. Plus in general the sponsored products and services are expensive and of lower quality than the competitors (that are cheaper and of better quality).
@@rateeightx They actually misled the customer on what portion of the proceeds went to environmental causes in their fine print. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I remember it being quite misleading. Hope that helps. :)
I thought everyone was! Any company that advertises so much while seeming to only give you free stuff has got to be shady. It'd be one thing if it was made by a few engineers and spreading by word of mouth, but *advertising* as crazy as they did? I installed it originally because of word of mouth but once I saw it showing up in ads I uninstalled it instantly. I was shocked to find out Markiplier was an outlierplier here.
Adam and Eve does sell some unsafe sex toys though. They've marketed toys using porous material, meaning you can't properly sanitize it which may lead to infections on subsequent use as "reusable". They refused to take it down or change the listing when one was brought to their attention.
"Adam & Eve Harvey co-founded Adam & Eve in 1970 with Dr. Tim Black, a British physician. The company started as a small storefront in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and grew into a mail-order catalog and a retailer with over 40 franchised stores. Harvey used profits from Adam & Eve to fund a worldwide family-planning network. DKT International Harvey founded DKT International, a Washington, D.C.-based charity that provides family planning and HIV/AIDS prevention programs in developing countries. Harvey donated about $50 million of his Adam & Eve profits to DKT International" I think I'll take my chances, they actually put their money where their mouth is the majority of the time unlike the majority of the rest of the world.

The fact that Linus tech tips realised that Honey was a scam and ended their contract with them… but instead of ringing the alarm and letting people know about the scam they kept the info private and signed with one of honeys rivals that has the same business model and pulls the same scam, is definitely one of the TH-camr moments of all time
I genuinely don't understand what would compel them to do that... The only logical reason I can think of is that they felt petty and wanted other TH-camrs to lose money as well. Bc there literally NO reason not to talk about that publicly???
@@ot7biasedmashups It's simple, they don't want to be involved in drama. If you call out 1 sponsor you'll likely lose out on other sponsors. Plus if they're wrong about it that's grounds for a lawsuit.
Honey’s not a scam because it steals affiliate revenue, though? That has no impact on the end user at all. It’s a scam because they deliberately don’t give you the best deals, which I doubt LTT was aware of at the time.
I've only ever seen it once and the whiplash made me click off immediately. It was some random, completely innocent video too. The kind of casual videos I've watched since I was a kid
But you're so supreme I give my life Not for honor, but for you (snake eater) In my time, there'll be no one else Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater) I'm still in a dream, snake eater
this wasn't the case btw. so what you said is pointless. this pertains to selling your data. as far as we know they didn't do that. they just ROBBED people blind
Yeah this is pretty much what I've been noticing. Every single large TH-camr who's been promoting these things is now making videos pretending they never supported it and in fact thought it was shady all along. It's almost like they don't really care about us and are just squeezing us for views and money. Who would've thought? Also, they only seem like they're really mad about this whole thing because THEY got their affiliate links taken, not that their viewers got scammed.
I mean, the viewers didn't really lose any money in this case, so yeah they were "scammed" but also they didn't lose anything. Like you said they're mostly mad that honey messed with THEIR affiliate links.
I remember Dan Olsen casually calling out Honey as a "data harvesting scam" during his video on Nostalgia Critic's review of The Wall. I never looked deeper into it myself (coupon hacks mean nothing when you don't like online shopping) but hearing the guy who'd go on to demystify bigger financial scams like NFTs and the Metaverse say it was sketchy always stuck in my brain when those sponsorships popped up
Everything TH-cam clowns shill always ends up being either a scam or just an over-priced piece of garbage. I think the real issue is that actual companies don't want to deal with TH-camrs for legal and financial reasons and thus only bad actors do the sponsorships. Otherwise, companies like Walmart would be sponsoring videos that show how to make neat things from stuff bought only in their stores.
@@derpstick5467 Its more like they don't shop frequently enough to need to clip digital coupons/chase deals with addons like Honey. You can simply search promo codes or use price tracking websites to see if they run deals.

@@a.bastianwiik5592 it does seem rather fitting. Nah, give me a bizarre woo-woo product instead, you never know when magnetic beads are gonna change your whole existence
One time I saw an ASMR TH-camr who promoted BetterHelp told people it was "Up to the consumer" to make the final decision. Kind of weird how a community suddenly turns into just consumers when the need to avoid accountability arises.
Slander implies that the criticism is untrue Fortunately, wrongfully accusing Man of slander in a comment section is also not slander... Since it's written, it's technically libel
I always ignored it because I never understood their business model. I knew searching for and suggesting coupons doesn't make money and they would need to make money somehow and if they aren't transparent about it then why should I trust them.
Seriously, they can never get a sponsorship from a normal company about normal things. Never an "Eat at Wendys!" or "Buy a Ford!", not once, not one damn time. At least this time Honey was scamming THEM instead of them telling you to go do sports gambling.
The reputation for social media sponsorships is bad enough normal businesses don't want to touch it, so it's mainly overpriced products or scams that are willing to do sponsorships. There are some random things that as far as I know aren't any more overpriced or scammy than the average business or product. I think the most common is video games. Most of them are for the crappy microtransaction based games, but actual decent games do sponsor videos relatively often on both gaming related channels, and sketch comedy channels that often joke about games.
Honestly, I wonder if big companies like Coke ever considered adding video creators as part of their advertising lineup. They certainly care about spreading their brand far and wide, and it could make sense to have creators with a worldwide audience promoting their product for what could be a relatively small percentage of their advertising budget
You have to realize that TH-camrs will take the first deal they get money on. Companies realizing it Just try to give the biggest bag to MrBeast or whoever and it gets sponsored. Kinda how Temu took off
yeah I get so many ads for Pie, when I found out they were made by the same people it made me a lot more suspicious of both because there's no way a company could create a "free money with no ramifications" app TWICE then Honey got exposed and my trust in Pie is in the negatives now
Yeah this incident with Honey really puts things into perspective. Not only are TH-camrs who take these deals selling us a mediocre product/service, now there's a high chance they aren't even getting paid for it. Like how many other sponsors are doing the same exact thing Honey did? This needs to be discussed honestly and openly now more than ever.
I never understood why people fell for Honey, I know that's the whole bit, but I'm serious when I say that I could tell from the start. They sure had a LOT of money to use promoting their "free" extension, which means they were making money some other way, which could literally only be harvesting and selling your data and information. Like it's internet 101, how the fuck was I seemingly the only one to see it. If the service is free, you're not the customer, you're the product.
you're not the only one who was suspicous, but people went "they're probably making bank on data collection" and then proceeded not to care bc everything everywhere at all times is collecting and selling your data already lol
@@J_Pawsadas-PTSDEnjoyerI always suspected it was adware, or worse, straight up malware. And the same company that created honey, is advertising an adblocker called pie, what could possibly go wrong?

No joke, the first time i hear about Honey i figure they were one of those apps that just collect your info to sell it or something like that, since the idea of a service that gives you coupons/discounts for free with nothing in exchange just didnt seem right. I mean, where would the money came from if not from something weird or shady like that?
If you know anything about modern monetization practices, Honey was obviously off from the start. They had way too much money for advertising. Like Raycons just being $20 Aliexpress earbuds sold for $160.
@@Toki-np3xj while it is a scam, the "scam" aspects of it target creators and store affiliates more than the users. Data harvesting is to be expected tbh, its a chrome expansion.

During his video review of The Wall for Nostalgia Critic, Dan Olsen casually referred to Honey as a "data harvesting scam". I never looked further into it myself (coupon hacks mean nothing when you don't like online shopping), but hearing the person who'd go on to demystify greater financial scams like NFTs and the Metaverse say it was dubious always remained in my mind when such ads popped up.
I mean, isn't basically 90% of the internet just about data harvesting? Calling something online a data harvesting scam is basically saying that the people behind it are bad at coming up with a pretext for it.
@@Br3ttMIt becomes a scam when they have no intention of actually delivering the service they promised in exchange for surrendering control of your data. Google and their ilk remind me of those schools of symbiotic cleaner fish which feast on the unwanted dead skin and parasites of any fish willing to make themselves vulnerable in exchange for a service.
I don't know why this video popped up in my feed randomly, and the first thought I had was, 'damn this dude looks like a typical discord mod' subscribed!
I don't think I've ever checked out a sponsored product except for maybe once bc I learned long ago to not put famous people on pedestals. As much as I see the people I subscribe to to be good and honest, you never truly know them bc they're just a face on a screen I have been disappointed 1 too many times by scummy people, so I do my best to take everything people do with a grain of salt
No TH-camr promoted products even seem appealing. RAID: Shadow Legs? It just doesn't look fun. It honestly seems cringe. Squarespace? Just code it yourself. For free. Hello Fresh? Their meals look bad, then my parents got Hello Fresh, and, what a surprise: they are bad. Grammarly? I mean, sure, it could be useful for some people, but I've never found grammar that difficult. Also, many people I know use it for assignments and it actively makes them worse. The worst part is when I'm doing a group assignment and it corrects 'themself' to 'themselves'. The only products I'd ever consider getting are VPNs, which allow me to use blocked websites at school (they literally blocked language learning sites and recipes under 'personal blogs', and sometimes it glitches and blocks Google Docs, which is what we use for every essay assignment)
I'd suggest avoiding youtuber promoted VPNs. VPNs overall are good and theres plenty of good ones but i just dont trust youtuber sponsorships. maybe look into mozilla or proton vpns
Honestly, if something appears in a yt sponsorship its immediately on my blacklist. VPNs especially, id never trust nordvpn or some such. Like, id rather research the product type myself to find good, legit alternatives to youtube brands. For example imo proton seems way more trustworthy
That's exactly what I felt with those "creators": they care more about THEM not getting money from honey because of fake affiliation links than about promoting a scam that doesn't show you real lowest price there is
Yeah it really does feel like the whole betterhelp thing actually causing harm to vulnerable people getting way less attention than this is very telling about people's priorities
As a foreigner, the ads are just time skips of the video for me, whatever company they are, because they do not offer support in Brazil and I just don't find use in anything that people sponsor. For creators like Future Canoe, I like that he gets some money to keep the good content, so whatever works for him, though.
Ever since I saw the first Honey sponsor reads a few years ago, I wondered how they could possibly make any money. Honestly glad that I never accepted them as a sponsor. (Also, I have no sponsors because I run a nothingburger channel.) Surf Wisely.
The only TH-camr promoted products I’ve ever bought are Thursday boots and Bombas socks because my research showed they’re actually great quality relative to price. I stay away from most sponsors tho.
the only person who earned saying "I got a bad vibe" is markiplier, because he not only got a bad vibe, but said so years before the controversy even happened
This feels like those backstories where 9 brothers tried to rule a kingdom and one turned evil and killed the others. Honey was supposed to be one of the best of them.
I'm going to start a TH-cam channel just so I can take questionable and rejected sponsors because I'm edgy and cool like that First up, lawn darts! Hours of fun for everyone! "Lawn darts! when you have a family member that you're secretly trying to bump off, try lawn darts! Hours of fun, controlled mortality rate! Sold now at Kmart and Super K(mart)!"
They always promote this stupid shit and like... Like it never affects anyone? People have promoted that forest thing to, and I don't think anyone even apologised when it was revealed to be a scam? An obvious one to boot.
Thanks for the analysis! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

I still remember when Established titles turned out to be a scam
All things considered it was one of the better ones though, Like, If I'd fallen for it, I probably wouldn't be complaining tbh. Sure, I can't call myself a lord, And I don't own a miniscule amount of land that was useless anyway, But those don't really matter to me. As far as I'm aware they *were* actually donating to charity and working to preserve the environment, Which I feel like is really the important part.
Fun fact: Established titles Is still going but now it's advertised as a gag gift; something you give to a friend to take the piss out of them. So basically they backtracked all their advertising and said:"It was a joke all along, why aren't you laughing?"
I'd recomend this video about this, it's pretty good: th-cam.com/video/nGv5wl8gT3M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bEcPZieS-6MbKPzK
It's also sad that's the biggest controversy because there's so many other terrible scams and bad business being promoted.
Plus in general the sponsored products and services are expensive and of lower quality than the competitors (that are cheaper and of better quality).
@@rateeightx They actually misled the customer on what portion of the proceeds went to environmental causes in their fine print. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I remember it being quite misleading.

Markiplier being suspicious of honey 3-4 years ago has aged like fine wine
I thought everyone was! Any company that advertises so much while seeming to only give you free stuff has got to be shady. It'd be one thing if it was made by a few engineers and spreading by word of mouth, but *advertising* as crazy as they did? I installed it originally because of word of mouth but once I saw it showing up in ads I uninstalled it instantly. I was shocked to find out Markiplier was an outlierplier here.

The fact that Linus tech tips realised that Honey was a scam and ended their contract with them… but instead of ringing the alarm and letting people know about the scam they kept the info private and signed with one of honeys rivals that has the same business model and pulls the same scam, is definitely one of the TH-camr moments of all time
I genuinely don't understand what would compel them to do that... The only logical reason I can think of is that they felt petty and wanted other TH-camrs to lose money as well. Bc there literally NO reason not to talk about that publicly???

If something is free, YOU are the product. Always remember that.
this wasn't the case btw. so what you said is pointless. this pertains to selling your data. as far as we know they didn't do that. they just ROBBED people blind
Yeah this is pretty much what I've been noticing. Every single large TH-camr who's been promoting these things is now making videos pretending they never supported it and in fact thought it was shady all along. It's almost like they don't really care about us and are just squeezing us for views and money. Who would've thought?
Also, they only seem like they're really mad about this whole thing because THEY got their affiliate links taken, not that their viewers got scammed.
I mean, the viewers didn't really lose any money in this case, so yeah they were "scammed" but also they didn't lose anything. Like you said they're mostly mad that honey messed with THEIR affiliate links.

@derpstick5467 Why are you interrogating a random stranger on the internet 💀
Everything TH-cam clowns shill always ends up being either a scam or just an over-priced piece of garbage. I think the real issue is that actual companies don't want to deal with TH-camrs for legal and financial reasons and thus only bad actors do the sponsorships. Otherwise, companies like Walmart would be sponsoring videos that show how to make neat things from stuff bought only in their stores.
@@derpstick5467 Its more like they don't shop frequently enough to need to clip digital coupons/chase deals with addons like Honey. You can simply search promo codes or use price tracking websites to see if they run deals.

@SolarBoy204Unironically, it's dangerous and not recommended to use an electric shaver down there because it can nick you.
Seriously, they can never get a sponsorship from a normal company about normal things. Never an "Eat at Wendys!" or "Buy a Ford!", not once, not one damn time. At least this time Honey was scamming THEM instead of them telling you to go do sports gambling.
The reputation for social media sponsorships is bad enough normal businesses don't want to touch it, so it's mainly overpriced products or scams that are willing to do sponsorships. There are some random things that as far as I know aren't any more overpriced or scammy than the average business or product. I think the most common is video games. Most of them are for the crappy microtransaction based games, but actual decent games do sponsor videos relatively often on both gaming related channels, and sketch comedy channels that often joke about games.
Honestly, I wonder if big companies like Coke ever considered adding video creators as part of their advertising lineup. They certainly care about spreading their brand far and wide, and it could make sense to have creators with a worldwide audience promoting their product for what could be a relatively small percentage of their advertising budget
You have to realize that TH-camrs will take the first deal they get money on. Companies realizing it Just try to give the biggest bag to MrBeast or whoever and it gets sponsored. Kinda how Temu took off

This needs to be discussed honestly and openly now more than ever.

I never understood why people fell for Honey, I know that's the whole bit, but I'm serious when I say that I could tell from the start. They sure had a LOT of money to use promoting their "free" extension, which means they were making money some other way, which could literally only be harvesting and selling your data and information. Like it's internet 101, how the fuck was I seemingly the only one to see it. If the service is free, you're not the customer, you're the product.
you're not the only one who was suspicous, but people went "they're probably making bank on data collection" and then proceeded not to care bc everything everywhere at all times is collecting and selling your data already lol

The only products I'd ever consider getting are VPNs, which allow me to use blocked websites at school (they literally blocked language learning sites and recipes under 'personal blogs', and sometimes it glitches and blocks Google Docs, which is what we use for every essay assignment)
I'd suggest avoiding youtuber promoted VPNs. VPNs overall are good and theres plenty of good ones but i just dont trust youtuber sponsorships. maybe look into mozilla or proton vpns
Honestly, if something appears in a yt sponsorship its immediately on my blacklist. VPNs especially, id never trust nordvpn or some such.
Like, id rather research the product type myself to find good, legit alternatives to youtube brands. For example imo proton seems way more trustworthy
And yet I doubt you’ve used a VPN for that? I assume you do some of your schoolwork at home?
