I am so disconnected from this influencer thing that I first heard about Honey when news were pushing that it was a scam. I'm just living under a rock and sometimes that saves my butt, I guess.

They sponsored a podcast that I listen to, and that's how I heard about it. I don't buy stuff online often enough for it to be useful, though, and I'm wary about installing stuff like that anyway.

I guess that podcast has egg on their faces now.
