If you're still using Paypal you will only have yourself to blame in the future.

We've seen this video blow up and for very good reason -- one of the biggest software scams ever.

Amazing like ratio too -- it really hit home for millions.

But it only confirms what we already knew about Paypal.

All the terrible reviews they have on Trustpilot aren't by accident.

They are a very shady company, and with Honey now we're seeing even more of this shadiness.

"Shady" is probably being too kind here.

You should definitely watch the video if you haven't already.

I used Honey a little bit once, but who knew they've literally been scamming creators and customers for years?

The sad thing is are they even going to face any real consequences?

It's good to see so many recent 1-star reviews and now they've lost like 3 million users on Chrome.

But imagine how many millions (billions?) they've stolen from creators?

20 million users is no joke -- that's how much they had before this whole issue started. And lol 17 million is still no joke.

And this is the sort of service you use ALL the time. And like we saw in the video even if you don't use they still try very hard to make you interact with it so they can steal the affiliate commission.

Tens of billions of dollars -- it's not a stretch to say they've stolen up to that, more than that.
