A bustling futuristic city with towering, ornate buildings under a clear blue sky. A large, beige, multi-level flying vehicle hovers above a wide street filled with small groups of people. The buildings feature domes, intricate architectural details, and numerous windows, with some people visible on balconies. The street below is lined with tall lampposts, and the overall scene has a bright, daylight setting. The flying vehicle appears to be a large passenger or transport craft, with multiple decks and structures.

MegaLag has returned a year later with part two of his video series investigating the Honey extension.

Beyond part one’s exposure of affiliate revenue hijacking, MegaLag digs into Honey’s “extortion” by adding limited-use “friends and family” type discounts and lying to the store owners about never removing codes for unaffiliated businesses while trying to sign them up as partners.

Other misdeeds described include marketing Honey’s for-adult-use-only browser extension to kids in partnership with channels like Mr Beast, who encouraged kids to install it everywhere they could, while collecting data on everyone who installed its extension, even if they never signed up. And despite a cease-and-desist from PayPal’s lawyers, this series isn’t over yet.
