      Was it all that surprising to you though?

      By the time honey hit the scene we had been ten years into “sketchy Browser extension that monitors your browsing habits and injects ads”

      I guess getting flogged by your favorite influencer ads a veneer of legitimacy for a lot of people.

        I think what was truly surprising is that they were bought for 4 billion.That much money for… basically an out and out scam. Paypal is that sure that it’s:

        1. entirely legal

        2. Will never be stopped

        3. will return on a 4 billion investment.

      I never trust browser extensions outside of a select few. However, I have used Paypal quite a bit. I would think many of us have.
