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 that the purpose of the list is to avoid unwanted/unneeded items. The user is already doing the work of directing purchases to your platform already.

Not cool.
