Legal Eagle is suing: https://youtu.be/4H4sScCB1cY?si=bXxfG_EekkzGEW7J
I don't care if they do two ads per video (a normal ad and one for their firm), they more than deserve to shout themselves out.
Maybe they should have looked out before taking advertisement deals for products they don't even try to understand.
The only reason all of the "content creator" (influencer would be more fitting) care about this, is for once the product screw over them instead of there audience (just look at betterhelp).
ou don't need have been socially engineered in order to be a part of a company hack. Same deal here.
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.

But to attempt to summarize it, LegalEagle was trying to file a FOIA request for to DOJ and the FBI for rejecting their request to retrieve documents related to the January 6th riots. And they were rejected in one way that basically suggested that it wasn't read, and one claiming that there were not "part of the media" (which shouldn't matter since anyone can file a FOIA). There's a lot of stalling tactics being done and there's worries that the records could he expunged if too much time passed.
