I agree and this also looks like a boring case: The allegations revolve around PayPal's Honey service allegedly diverting clicks and the associated ad revenue from Internet personalities who entered sponsorship deals for it.FYI I've been keeping an eye on this, haven't done a writeup yet because I'm not sure if the GamersNexus or LegalEeagle will actually become the basis for a class action or other case-joining. On the docket, there's an order to find cases "related", which basically takes all cases in the district which are similar or suing for the same thing, and assigns them all to the same judge. This is done to avoid judge-shopping, and get consistent rulings on cases with multiple parties. It's not an official merge into a class action yet. Longer explanation here.
It's scummy if the allegations are true but it's not funny - unless or until the parties do something stupid (low-hanging fruit would be sob stories about how one of the plaintiffs spent the Honey money before s/he realized it wasn't happening) there are major legal/financial questions at play but it will be dull bordering on impenetrable to anyone who is not an attorney. The 'lol' in 'lolsuit' should be immediately apparent to the reader, and that seems to be missing here.
