This thing is gonna turn into a huge clusterfuck for Paypal.

Why do I have the gut feeling that they will get away with a 25k fine and a slap on the butt?

@mmKay I don't think anything major is gonna happen. Although they stole millions of dollars, it only feels that way to the content creators, but not to its majority of users. 

Even if I used honey extensively (hypothetical), I realize I didn't get a cheaper price, whatever no-one cares it's a stupid application, it's not like I paid more etc etc. 

I feel like social outrage is a very important factor when bringing down big institutions, I think people are turning heads but won't give a fuvck after, as they have not personally lost anything. Only people who lost a lot of money are creators, only they'll be mad.

No way.

This could easily turn into a $100 million settlement.

They will be taken to the cleaners.

That's why LeagalEagle pounced on this case like a fly on shit. He could easily make $50 mil here.

Google is gonna be lucky if it still owns Chrome a year from now.

How so? That's crazy considering the size of Google.

Did honey have any competitors? Did they follow the same strategy?
