As an example, Honey (by PayPal) was discovered to be a scam 1 year ago by a journalist, but it still has a blue checkmark on the chrome add-on store, is marked as Featured and has an average of 4.6/5 stars reviews.Lesson learned: Be smart, never trust these metrics or the hype, and always research before using a product.
>>107927978it was known since the beginning on various hacking forums. one youtuber took all the credit for discovering it (he didn't do shit except make a video about it).>and always research before using a product.two years ago or whenever it was? people could research about a problem that wasn't know about except in very dark corners of the internet? yeah. im out. i'm tired of you fucking failures and your remaining iq point destroying what's left of this website.
>>107927978Oh look, it's the honey thread again.
>>107927978>never trust people trying to make advertising revenue off youDuh?
>>107928011I know he didn't do all the work because this is tricky to figure out, but he did good on spreading the word and being the one to open peoples' eyes and make them realize it was a scam.The point is, scam can come from where you least expect, so always be suspicious. Some people can still figure out these kind of stuff by themselves. I personally helped my cousin with one fake giveaway/popular voting from a big company's website, which they asked for people to vote but when I checked the Network tab in the dev tools, no request was submitted ever, meaning it was just a show for people to engage with that platform websites by using content creators' images that a lot of normies cared about.
