He talks about how honey gets access to the codes by scraping every promo code submitted by the users. Doesn’t that mean that someone could automate something to submit false codes by the 100s whenever you are at checkout to fill PayPal with junk data? Making honey useless for everyone for that merchant because it can’t tell the real from the fake. An anti honey extension.
What’s PayPal going to do? Try to sue because the data they are illegally obtaining is being tainted? Obviously the codes wouldn’t work on merchants so they are fine in this.
Honestly thats my experience with most codes, in general.
Which is why those deal sites that give you codes are ultimately pointless, especially since they started making super specifically regional codes and other excessively extreme limitations that render it useless for everyone but one random guy that lives in a blue barn to the north east of a pig farm.

This is basically already what my experience with honey was. Most of the codes didn’'t work.
