Wyd when low effort wannabees clone your listing? And what do you do as a shopper when you see it?

I've started adding custom detail categories to my listings and mentioning my shop name and sometimes vaguely obscene references (for social media following) in both the detail category as well as the information that I fill out.

I've started seeing it pop up in cloned listings from low effort sellers that have two pictures and "mint condition" of something that's falling apart.

The injustice sensitivity says to rage about it or make fun of the seller. (Because they're using my name, goddamn it)

But on the other hand, im curious to know; if you're shopping for a vaguely generic gollyhopper from the 18-19th century and you see a callout to another store in the listing.... Do you check out that other store?
