Btw, the real answer to this question is "steganography." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Though I'm not ready to discount the theory that they actually just have a request-origin protection that says, "fuck you" and pollutes the image when they see someone trying to scrape the site. -
@SortOfTested I've seen that before and I always get a chuckle out of the stuff they replace with.
@melezorus34 I'm aware. Still mildly infuriating. -
@SortOfTested I don't think they were going for stenography here. That wasn't what I meant when I brought up the fonts

Feed me uselessness -
@melezorus34 check @SortOfTested 's comment and under methods
Just tried to save an image of a chart from a websi--NOPE it's not an image! It's actually an array of numbers in a series of special fonts with a small background image behind it all. Why in gods name would you do this? You went through the trouble of adding the background image, why wouldn't you just combine the actual chart into it?
