8:22Now PlayingA bombshell lawsuit is rocking the influencer world! PayPal and its popular browser extension, Honey, are accused of siphoning millions from YouTube creators—without their knowledge. Major influencers like MrBeast and countless others may have been victims of what’s being called the biggest influencer scam of all time.

Now, multiple lawsuits have been filed, and the fallout is massive—PayPal Honey has lost millions of users, and outraged influencers are speaking out. But PayPal insists it did nothing wrong, claiming it follows “industry practices.”
Find out more about how PayPal Honey may have sweetened its own pot in this deep-dive from The Post.
