I absolutely love how fired up the average YouTube commenter was about Honey... for about 72 hours. People completely unaffected in any way were demanding class action lawsuits, etc with seemingly no clue why they were even upset. Then the subject completely left their minds.

This observation is of course entirely anecdotal, but manufactured outrage is so fascinating, even if it currently eroding the very foundations of society.

The problem with sustained outrage against Honey is that the victims are not the users and the users give up actual cash savings to not use Honey.

Not totally true. Honey deliberately only included a subset of coupons (at the seller's discretion), and in many cases better discounts were available elsewhere.
