      Something I wonder is how would it even be possible for vendors to ignore PayPal is doing something fishy.

      You got a guy who’s job is to monitor who is getting their affiliate money. He sees PayPal collecting millions of affiliate money.

      The other players in this game (of affiliate link) knew very well that honey was doing something fishy. Why didn’t they contest it?

      Because they were doing the same kind of “last click” bullshit. If that was so unfair there would be a trial already. They all followed this stupid rule and the megalag video talks about it.

      The fact that Linus Tech Tips knew and we are supposed to believe the rest of the affiliate links mafia didn’t see a thing?

        A lot of companies were working with honey to have them make sure people didn’t get the best offer. So they knew exactly what was going on.
