The Honey trap explained.
Everyone hates a sleazy salesperson.
The Joe Goldbergs of the online world. The folks who say, “It’s literally free money!” The ones whose lines are as choreographed as a K-pop routine — but way less fun.
I’m not a government agent. I’m not an ethical-hacking guru. I’m just a person who got sick of hearing about this “free” browser extension that supposedly saves you a fortune — Honey — yet no one was talking about its suspicious business model.
So I did what any binge-obsessed investigative documentary viewer would do: I went deep. Real deep. And trust me, after you see what’s hiding under Honey’s sweet veneer, you’ll never look at “Install for FREE!” the same way again.
We all have our favorite influencers — some on YouTube, some who mention Apple or Starlink in every other sentence, some who wax poetic about EcoFlow battery stations. They talk about their gear, unbox a new Apple gadget, or show off how EcoFlow powers their entire weekend camping trip.
They share affiliate links. You click, buy, and they get a little thank-you cut. That’s fair — content creators gotta eat.
