Computer scientist and law and economics researcher Ben Edelman's deep dive into Bill Gate's daughers' Phoebe's $185 million valuation online shopping assistant startup Phia.

Phia has been very buzzy in pop culture, having raised $35 million Series A from celebrity investors including Sidney Sweeney, Ice Spice, Halsey, the Chainsmokers, Khloe Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Alix Earle, Shaboozey, Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton, Mindy Kaling, Wendi Murdoch, Karlie Kloss, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, etc.

Sounds very similar to the affiliate link hijacking and cookie stuffing scam Honey got in trouble for a few years ago. Essentially using the extension to steal clicks and commissions.
