so if you took money from a company, then found out they're shady as shit and stealing money from the users that you probably helped start using their service, would you just stop using them, or would you feel obligated to say something to the millions of people you convinced to use it? I've never used honey, it was pretty clear to me they would have to have your history and data to do what they offer.
do you think it's enough to just stop using them and not help those that you lead down the wrong path, for fear it would damage your "image"? he's scummy man, no better way to put it, especially since money was involved.
At what point did he know they were 'stealing from users'? Do you mean the thing where they don't use the best coupon code? Because Linus has stated multiple times he didn't know about, only the affiliate link changing, which only effects creators, not users.
What does history and data have to do with any of this? Of course they would have it.
I feel like a lot of different points are getting conflated and mixed into one point. Which is making it hard to address points.
As for what he should have done given the information he had at the time. Dropping the sponsor seemed ok. Anyone that cares about let sponsors can go to their forum, give feedback, and read why they have dropped sponsors.
