    It’s not just youtubers. It’s anyone who uses affiliate links. Online ads use affiliate links.Things like Amazon Smile used affiliate linking for charity fundraising.

    And since Honey was jacking links class action is the only way for them to really do it. No individual affiliate can point out their individual loss through Honey because Honey erased their links.

    That means the class action needs to go after all affiliate revenue Honey has ever made.

      After reviewing the actual legal filing, you’re correct. I somehow missed that.

      All persons (corporate or individual) in the United States who participated in an Affiliate Program with a United States online merchant and had affiliate attribution redirected to Paypal as a result of the Honey browser extension.

      Thanks for the clarification.
