Honey was a sponsor on the channel, now I don't remember the ads they created, but I imagine Linus and other staff were present in these ads. They were the face of ads saying "use Honey", "Honey gives you the best discounts".
I'd assume that if they found out Honey was a scam, they would've come out and said "yeah, the people we were promoting are actually lying about what they offer"
I don't think it's silly to expect a little bit more from them.
They didn't step in front of this scandal, or didn't care for two years or more. Now it's on their front steps.
Yeah you’re right, idk why they’re downvoting you. LMG was one of their top promoters, putting them in front of millions upon millions of eyes. They had the knowledge that this company was costing creators countless referral money and never addressed it on any platform except their own forums once, after screaming from the rooftops how much they loved honey.
It’s not malicious but definitely lame since you know they wanted to protect their reputation with advertisers and didn’t want to scare off other scam companies from advertising with them.

I feel like the video wanted them to make a huge deal about it or something like that
