    No, they are not one of largest tech media companies They have less than what 100 employees. Maybe you used the wrong term?

    When did they learn about it? Where your proof?

    • It’s the holidays and a lot of content of made awhile, I don’t expect them to make dedicated statement.

        I watched it, but I’ll reserve my judgment until the next wan show because I don’t know if it has been mentioned before on an earlier show or how the problem has been interpret by staff.

          … Ok well here’s the link to the moment (in the video you watched) where we have one **staff ** member giving an official response to how LTT interpreted the problem in a forum post on their website.

          And here’s a link to their youtube channel where they talk about honey

          You’ll notice. There isn’t one.

          So for at least two years, they knew honey was stealing affiliate links and considered it a big enough problem to end their partnership, but did not consider it a big enough issue to make a video on it.
