A sad story in 3 images. 1. remove.bg (free background removal tool) is "moving to Canva" aka acquired 2. Canva's 'BG Remover' tool is only available to subscribers 3. Minimum is £13 a month. Sigh. Capitalism. "A competitor's doing something cool, for free. Quick buy them and monetise it!"

Sounds like an opportunity to vibe code a replacement!

💯

Sure. But most of the AI tools are already pretty decent at this. It was less of an "I can't remove the background on images anymore!" whine. More of a rant against the wind/the ol' business switcheroo of: "This is good, isn't it? You like it, don't you? Whoop... it's behind a paywall now!" 😒
