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.

Sourced from MegaLag's part 3 update of honey video

In fact, MegaLag in his video noted that one of initial lawsuits was disposed off hence part 3 took a long time to make without much of an update
