If those people had only access to overpriced water, then yes, making this market failure go away would be a worthwhile undertaking with a meaningful positive outcome. But people getting overcharged on a progressbar around their Twitter profile picture, who cares? And who could not live without that or do it manually with Paint at the cost of some additional time?

My original comment was just meant as a general comment that this kind of profit is not supposed to exist. I am not sure if I want to call it unethical but I am really tempted to do. You make yourself a nice life and others do the work.
