Spending 6 millions EUR per year to get an index of blurry pictures in ElasticSearch (that they just crawled from somewhere). Well, it's only here for 15 years... so make the calculation.

You are clearly misrepresentating the value here. They also put a watermark on each image. /s

In all fairness, they don't all have watermarks. I don't know why. Perhaps they collected images from a variety of sources before downscaling and those sources included watermarks.
I kind of wish that sort of thing had been part of the QA process though. Decent resolution and clean images would make this so much more valuable.
