## Second correction, 2026-09-24 — the correction above was itself an over-correction
|
||||
|
||||
The paragraph above says "every x.com response checked is the logged-out shell". Checked properly today, that is
|
||||
wrong in the other direction. A logged-out `GET` of an x.com status URL returns 200 **with text in it**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `<meta property="og:title">` → the author's display name and handle ("Anthony vonStackChain⛓16 (@AnthonyDessauer) on X").
|
||||
- `<title>` and `og:description` → the post's text, **capped at roughly 304 characters**; when that budget is not
|
||||
eaten, the body is served in full, e.g. `1561523237984432128` → "We are only 14 stacks away from the historic
|
||||
block that will mark 1 million cuck bucks dumped into #stackchain".
|
||||
- Of the 12 x.com status rows above, **2 serve the body text, 10 are reply-style posts whose 304-character budget
|
||||
is consumed by the @mention wall** (body not served), and 1 (`1549500074434052097`) serves the mention wall plus
|
||||
the first ~35 characters of the body.
|
||||
- Profile URLs (5 rows) return display name + bio. Control: a handle that does not exist
|
||||
(`https://x.com/nonexistentacct12345`) returns **404** with `og:title` "User Profile Not Found - X"; a
|
||||
too-long handle returns a 200 shell with no metadata. So a profile 200 is not nothing — it says the handle
|
||||
resolves and gives the bio as served that day.
|
||||
|
||||
Revised grading of the 13 X rows: **public metadata retrieved** (author display name; bio for profiles; body text
|
||||
only for non-reply posts; never a date, engagement count, media or replies) — not `unverified`, and not proof of
|
||||
liveness either. The single 404 (the `twitter.com` variant of the dead link) stands, with the Wayback recovery as
|
||||
before.
|
||||
|
||||
One row in the paragraph above also needs a caveat: `https://x.com/AriZonanHODL` serves a display name and the bio
|
||||
"Jesus is King, GFY, bitcoin buyer of last resort" today, while the Bitcoin Magazine line I quoted
|
||||
("In memory of our beloved @ArizonanHODL's Twitter account.") is confirmed verbatim in the 2026-06-16 Wayback
|
||||
capture of that article (`web.archive.org/web/20260616093739/…`). Both facts are recorded; which one describes the
|
||||
account's current state is **not established**, and neither line should be cited as settled.
