I dunno why you keep sending me a bunch of text and videos. I'm going to wait until the next wan show, so I can understand what really happened inside.

I'm down to listen to their response myself but as someone who tried really hard to explain away their last dumb controversy only to be proven wrong multiple times, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just pure negligence. Actions speak louder than words and their actions have shown they're a flawed company like any other despite what their conversations on WAN show would have you believe.

Fuck Honey/PayPal first and foremost, don't get me wrong. But unless there were legal issues around it, we also can't ignore it if the biggest tech YouTube channel found out about one of the biggest sponsors on YouTube being a scam, stopped working with them for that reason, but said absolutely nothing to anyone else.
