PayPal’s Honey browser extension is facing ongoing litigation over allegations that it interfered with affiliate attribution and redirected commissions from content creators. The case has now moved beyond the latest motion-to-dismiss stage. I broke down the alleged affiliate-ID replacement mechanism, Honey’s alleged stand-down behavior, the affiliate-network fallout, and what the June 2026 court ruling actually means.

Well this is beyond absurd.
