    Do you not believe that the design of the "stolen" landing page was not itself 97% stolen from marketing landing pages that came before it? It's unusual seeing the process stated s…

    It's highly reasonable for them to limit image size/quality to whatever looks fine to 98% of their readers. They store and serve an absolute ton of ever-changing content to browser…
