But when does Honey ever refer a customer to a product? My impression is that you only ever use Honey when you're already about to make a sale -- you go to the product page, and Honey finds a discount for you.

I'm not super familiar, does Honey run any advertisements or recommendations for products? It makes sense why I might pay a blogger affiliate revenue for referring a reader to my product, but I'm not going to pay someone an affiliate link to someone who claims they influenced a purchase decision where the customer is already sitting on the checkout page. If I go to an Amazon product page, will Honey give me a recommendation for a different product that's lower priced?
