Tldw: honey appears to have been falsifying urls to circumvent paying content creators

They aren’t falsifying URLs. They’re swapping out the affiliate cookie for their own.

Sort of. But basically yes, Honey pays creators to advertise their “product” then when a viewer downloads Honey and uses it Honey steals the affiliate code money by swapping their own code in. And also not necessarily giving you the best deal, so they can keep more of the payout.
