Hell yeah. Huge respect to him and the other youtuber that exposed this, it’s crazy that Honey just pocketing most of the referral money has been undiscovered for so many years.

It was Megalag and his channel is amazing. The colorblind scam glasses investigation was amazing

I don’t get how anyone thought they would work. If your color blind they obviously don’t magically alter the receptors in your eyes.

Colourblindness knows many types, most can still see color.
At least on paper it seems plausible to measure the cones per iris and then build a filter to strengthen color that is lacking.
The moment i realized they sold them without detailed personal eye scanning involved i knew they were a scam. Gimmick at best. Worst part is they seem catered to people as gifts for colorblind friends, thats just a way to obstruct people from analyzing them to much. What are they going to say? “I dont for a sec believe this overly saturated view is realistic and your gift sucks”? No the will say “wauw thank you” and shove it in a drawer somewhere next day, never to mention them again.

If selling false hope wasn’t profitable, there would be a lot of companies (and religions) go out of business.

If they had worked they might have done so by some sort of contrast enhancement or edge detection, but I don’t think either are possible with just optics

Yes you could absolutely do it with a camera and a computer screen and some software but I can’t see how glass or plastic lenses could possibly be expected to do it

You mean these X-Ray specs don’t actually let me see thru anything?!
