    Did you look at the screenshot? The small, greyed-out “Sponsored” text is quite small and everything else is identical to a real listing. Really is a dark pattern. Especially given…

    Nicely done! This is not trivial work. Have spent a lot of time working with ImageMagick + lots of tweaking to try and get background removal working. Getting it working for a more…
