>you don't need to have accepted the deal or even have heard of Homey to be affected

no you at the very least needed to install the addon for it to swap out your browser cookies.

>And it's effect isn't limited to YouTubers

the reason for the lawsuit based on financial damages very much does only effect them, the people who have referral programs which aren't the audience. ofc it also effects youtuber who didn't have a deal with honey.

Yes, that was my primary point. And It may hurt them even more.

e.g If you're a tech YouTuber and Marquee took a deal, odds are you will feel the effects more than he would a A multimillionaire and industry known influencer. Because you'll probably have a huge overlapping audience with him.

Also, remember that a honey spent billions advertising this. I doubt this level of budget was limited only to YouTubers. Plenty of Instagram and TikTok and Twitter influencers to target.
