LegalEagle, a prominent YouTuber and attorney, has filed a class-action lawsuit against the shopping extension Honey, accusing it of unfairly replacing creators’ affiliate codes with its own, depriving them of earnings. The lawsuit, supported by other attorneys, claims Honey manipulates coupon visibility, undermining creators' income through deceptive practices. LegalEagle aims to recover potentially billions in lost revenue and secure an injunction against Honey’s practices. The case, titled Wendover Productions, LLC v. PayPal Inc, could set important precedents for affiliate marketing transparency and fairness, with widespread implications for the digital content industry.
