The founder of Honey no longer owns Honey, and hasn't for some time. It's owned by PayPal, a much more notoriously shady company that some people still use for some reason.

Now I feel bad. I use paypal because in some cases of purchases it is the only means I can use. What is shady about them?

Look up the PayPal mafia. Tldr: their founders are overthrowing the world's oldest democracy at the moment.

Fun fact: the founders threw out musk, before it became PayPal, he actually wanted it to be called X, he was hoarding that domain since then.
