Part 7/9:
Based on my observations, it seems that Honey has established a sort of “protection” strategy with Amazon, possibly because of its extensive user base and the data it collects. If Honey were to face penalties or bans, it could easily leverage its influence to rally users against brands, creating public pressure that could be damaging.
The implications of such a relationship are dire. By allowing Honey to persist in this manner, brands risk eroding trust with the very content creators who help promote them. Meanwhile, creators remain victims of a system that allows a corporate entity to siphon off the revenue that should support them.
