The “widow farmer” who wasn’t there: an AI account a man crossed Brazil to meet
In October a 49-year-old man travelled about 2,100 kilometres across Brazil to meet “Jéssica,” a widowed farmer he knew from TikTok, where her account had more than 300,000 followers. When he reached Belo Horizonte on October 11, no one was there. Three days later the account posted a video saying she was made with artificial intelligence and that the aim was engagement for sales. Its bio now says so in capital letters. The Brazilian outlets Metrópoles and TechTudo reported the case. Our page documents it from archived copies of the account and the reporting, and does not link to the account. The man is a private person and is not named. We also told the story in a five-minute video.

48 more AI personas, most labelled by their own Instagram accounts
Since our last issue the list of documented AI influencers grew from 87 to 135. Of the 48 new pages, 36 carry Instagram’s “AI-generated profile” label, which an account adds to itself. Eight say it in their own words: Uncle Sal’s bio reads “AI Generated & Operated by ProCap Financial.” Two are listed as AI creators by Fanvue, the paid site their links lead to, and two are confirmed by the company that makes them. Seventeen are health and home-remedy hosts, among them Tia Ayanna, a “90 years old” character with about 1.1 million followers. The age, life story and advice belong to a character, and several of these accounts sell products from their bios. One new rule: when an account’s own captions use the hashtag #syntheticperformer, we count that as the account saying it is AI. Two accounts joined the list that way. A third, Olivia Brand, stays unproven: her posts credit AI tools and Instagram tags some of them as AI content, but that tag marks a picture, not a person.

When a famous name changes, someone else can pick up the old one
Miley Cyrus has used @miley on her accounts since late August 2026. The old @mileycyrus names on Instagram and TikTok are now held by other accounts, so a profile under the old name is not her. Her page lists the accounts that are. Four creators renamed accounts this month, among them Camila Parker, who also opened a second one; their pages carry the new names, and one warns about two empty lookalike accounts. We also added a page for Megan Fox, listing her own accounts.

We tested eight link-in-bio services: two show the platforms’ link checkers an empty page
Many creators put one link in their bio that opens a page of all their other links. On October 27 we asked for each of eight such services the way an ordinary visitor does, the way Google does, and the way the link checkers of Meta, X and TikTok do. Linktree, Linkme, Hoo.be, AllMyLinks and Beacons showed everyone the same links. Bouncy and SLT gave the platforms’ checkers an empty page while sending people and Google on to the real links, and Bouncy’s own help pages describe a setting that sends Meta users to its homepage instead. Linkboo hid its links from every automated visitor. Meta’s spam policy names showing its systems something different from what people see, which it calls cloaking, as something it doesn’t allow. Using one of these services doesn’t make a creator fake. We re-test them every week.

The platforms’ own AI rules, re-read: YouTube and X added
We checked our pages on what each platform says about AI against the platforms’ own wording on October 27, and added two. X rewrote its rule on intimate images in August 2026: it now covers creating or editing them, names AI and deepfakes, and counts asking an AI to make one as a violation. Instagram renamed its account label to “AI-generated profile” on August 31; the account adds it itself. Fanvue now says AI chat on its site must not deny being AI when a fan sincerely asks. There are seven records now: OnlyFans, Fansly, Fanvue, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X.

“Was it AI?”: Nicole Kidman’s Vogue Australia cover and IAMDDB’s likeness
Two cases joined our file of AI accusations. People online said Nicole Kidman’s new Vogue Australia cover shoot used AI to make her look younger. She and the shoot are real, and no one involved, from the magazine and the photographer to her team, has said AI was used, so the case stays unproven. Comments are not evidence either way. The British rapper IAMDDB said a music video posted, then deleted, by a government’s official accounts used an AI-made version of her likeness without her permission, and that she took no part in it. Her word settles it: AI-made, and not her. The file now holds 17 cases.

Two Instagram accounts confirmed gone, two back
This week’s review closed two Instagram accounts by hand, one of them reported at about two million followers. Each returned “this page isn’t available” on two automated checks a week apart and in an ordinary browser, while a known-live account loaded normally in the same session. No explanation is on record. Two came back. Lauren Hamden’s Instagram, offline for about three weeks, loaded again under her name with about one million followers. Jessi Ngatikaura’s older account is back too, pointing fans to the one she posts on now. One creator’s link page now says it was deleted. A renamed page looks the same from outside, so it stays under review until next week. The ledger holds 282 dated events.

Where the paid links moved this week
Read from the women’s own accounts and pages in this week’s check. One creator’s link page dropped a Mynx link and renamed its ManyVids button “my videos.” Another creator’s own website opens a link page that leads to OnlyFans, her first paid link on record. A third creator’s link page added a Patreon button. One bio dropped its OnlyFans link but still calls her an OnlyFans athlete, so nothing changed on her page. Subs, a newer paid-content site, joined the list of paid platforms we never link on unclaimed pages. As always on unclaimed pages, the rows carry no address: the account is on record, the route is not.

New: “Was it AI?” — viral AI accusations about women’s work, checked one by one
A video looks slightly off, and within hours the internet has decided it’s AI. This week we opened a running file of those accusations, each answered from the evidence: made by people, AI-made, or unproven. It starts with 15 cases. Olivia Rodrigo’s “Expectations” video was made by people: behind-the-scenes material from her official fan channel shows hand-drawn characters and 2D and 3D animation. The actress Neha Sharma said on her own X account that the images of her going around were AI-made. That counts, because the woman shown is the authority on whether she made them. Three cases stay unproven, among them the Taylor Swift “Showgirl” promo clips. An accusation alone never settles a case, and neither does an AI-detector score.

The AI “comedians”: accounts telling real comedians’ jokes to sell paid pages
In October, stand-up comedians found their routines performed word for word on Instagram by young women with hundreds of thousands of followers. WIRED investigated on October 16 and found the accounts used the views to send followers to paid subscription pages. We checked the accounts named in the coverage. Aylen Skye, the biggest at about 250,000 followers, is AI: her paid page carries Fanvue’s “AI generated or enhanced” label, which Fanvue says it is required by law to apply. Her Instagram went offline after the story. Basedxlily, with about 355,000 followers, carries Instagram’s own AI label. Two stay unproven. Tiffany Sloane’s AI label was reported by two outlets in early October but was gone when we checked. Luna Fallait’s feed shows her as a guest on Conan O’Brien’s late-night show, which ended years before her account existed. If a joke from one of them made you laugh, a real comedian wrote it.

The “$24,542 from two AI girls” story: a recycled script and a face-swap demo
A post going around X this week says a 22-year-old in China made $24,542 in a month from two AI girls, starting with $20 spent on Claude. We traced it. The same story ran twice in July with a different 22-year-old, one from Riga and one from Miami. The October version names no person or account and shows no payout, and its subscription figure is simply 1,265 subscribers times $9.99, with no platform cut. The article it points to is a pitch for Fanvue’s referral programme. The video is real but shows something else: one man at a webcam beside two “girls” in the same room, both copying his every move. That is live face-swap software, not Claude, which can’t change a face or voice on a stream. It is also how a man can stream as a woman and take tips from viewers who think she’s real. Signs to watch for: flicker at the hairline and jaw, glitches when a hand crosses the face, and a voice out of step with the lips.

21 new pages, most of them names you searched for on our AI list
Visitors to the AI-influencers list kept searching for names we didn’t have yet, so this week we added 21 pages. Eleven are AI personas confirmed by their own accounts or by their platform. Hailey Cross carries Instagram’s AI label. Her shop sells training guides for 10-to-18-year-olds and a novel written as her life story, and only one free guide page says she is AI-generated. Vicky Venice’s YouTube says her songs are recorded with AI tools. Ren Kaido, also labelled on Instagram, is one of the first two men in the registry. Ten pages stay unproven, because a third party calling an account AI isn’t enough. Bertha Cooks, a family of cooking channels with about 750,000 subscribers, is one of them. The documented AI-influencers list now holds 43 personas, up from 29 on October 9.

AI “grandmas” and wellness hosts: 24 new AI personas, most labelled by their own accounts
This week we added 24 AI personas, many of them names visitors searched for on our AI list. Eighteen carry Instagram’s own “AI-generated profile” label, which an account adds to itself. The biggest group is older-looking wellness and home-tips hosts: “Grandma Martha, 81” (Martha Bontrager), Jennifer Sage (“63 Year Old · Wellness Expert”), Claire Parker (“75 Years Young”), Gia Russo, Dana Cross, Andrea Gomez, Meera Patel and Linda Cleans, plus two men, a cleaning host called Dale (Country Cleans, about 592,000 followers) and Ken Remedie (about 1.3 million). Most of their bios end in a shopping link, and several push the same products. The label is honest, but it is one small line under the name, and the age, family and life story in the videos belong to the character. Health tips and product picks come from whoever runs the account. The studio Blur Studios makes four more, among them Granny Spills, at about 2.2 million followers.

No account closed this week, five held for a second look
This week’s review found no account we could close for certain. Five answered “not found” for the first time: two YouTube channels, one personal website, one X account and one Snapchat link. They stay under review until next week, because a renamed account looks the same from outside as a closed one. A backup Instagram named on one creator’s link page was unavailable too, but we had never seen it live, so it doesn’t count as a disappearance. Aylen Skye’s Instagram went offline after the WIRED story and gets its second check next week. The ledger holds 278 dated events.

Five Instagram accounts confirmed gone, one back after two months — and two personal websites now belong to strangers
This week’s review closed five Instagram accounts by hand, one of them with about six million followers. Each returned “this page isn’t available” on two automated checks a week apart and in an ordinary browser, and a known-live account loaded normally in the same session. One came back: Vanessa Violet’s main Instagram, recorded gone on August 10, loaded again this week under her name with about 473,000 followers. Two women’s own websites now show something else entirely. One address serves an online-gambling page, the other an unrelated link directory. Both pages now say so in their warnings: the address isn’t hers, so don’t sign up, pay or type anything there. Three YouTube channels and one website answered “not found” for the first time. A channel that changes its handle looks the same from outside as one that closed, so they stay under review until next week. The ledger now holds 278 dated events.

Each page now carries a plain line near the top, such as “Updated October 9, 2026 · reviewed by a human.” That date is the last time a person re-read the page, never the date the site was rebuilt. The most-read pages were re-read from the top for it, among them Camila Parker, Sophie Rain, Sweetie Fox, Alina Valea and the documented AI-influencers list, with every account checked again in a browser. The pages also open differently now, on phones above all. The answer comes first, in one line: yes, a real person; no, a disclosed AI persona; or unproven so far. Right under it sits a short warning count about accounts pretending to be her, and a few related pages on this site to read next. Her accounts are still on the page, further down.

Nine AI personas now carry Instagram’s own AI label — and one studio put the word “AI” back
We re-read all 29 personas on the documented AI-influencers list on October 9. Nine now show Instagram’s “AI-generated profile” line under their name. That label is added by the account itself, and Instagram explains it as a profile that “features an AI-generated person instead of a real human.” Among the nine are Lil Miquela, Aitana Lopez and both ZELU House characters. Eleven are live without the label, and twelve of the Instagram accounts listed on those pages are still gone. ZELU House, which runs Mia and Ana Zelu, had dropped the words “AI character” from its bios in September. Its own site now calls Mia, Ana and a third character, Luka Zelu, “original, AI-generated digital characters,” and the earlier wording stays on record either way. The man behind Emily Hart, an AI nurse persona Instagram removed in February, told KQED in August that Meta’s notice cited its community guidelines without giving a reason. He says he now builds AI influencers for brands.

Instagram now lets an account label itself as AI — here is what the label says
Some Instagram profiles now show a line under the name reading “AI-generated profile.” Tap it and Instagram explains that the account holder added the label and that the profile “features an AI-generated person instead of a real human.” It is the account’s own disclosure, shown by Instagram — the clearest answer to “is she real?” short of the owner claiming her page. Three pages here now rest on it: Maya Lanez, Hilda Wolfsbane and Amara Davaux. A profile without the label proves nothing either way.

Five new pages, from the names people were already asking about
Each name came from a question people were asking — on Bing, of Microsoft’s Copilot, or in this site’s search box. Maya Lanez, searched about 4,400 times a month in the US, is an AI persona: her Instagram carries the AI label and her YouTube channel says “everything you see on this channel is AI-generated.” Hilda Wolfsbane, a Viking-folk music act, carries the same label, though her music videos say nothing about it. Brynja Vinter and Zora Winslet, two other music acts people ask about, disclose nothing and no real singer is documented, so both stay unproven. So does Lyra Storm, a road-trip creator with about 98,000 Instagram followers.

Eight Instagram accounts confirmed gone — and two we recorded gone last week came back
This week’s review closed eight Instagram accounts by hand, each returning “this page isn’t available” on two automated checks a week apart and in an ordinary logged-in browser on September 29, with a known-live account loaded before and after to rule out a block aimed at us. Two of the eight were accounts the women’s own pages list as confirmed; one was the last of four accounts under a single name; one was an alias account that had already vanished once in August and come back on September 7. No cause is on record for any of them. Two accounts we recorded as gone on September 21 answered again this week — the same accounts, at about 1.7 million and 955,000 followers — so both pages now carry the return and the two-week gap. Gone can mean paused, which is why the ledger records returns as carefully as losses. One creator’s official website address was lost to an unrelated site, and a YouTube channel that carried an AI persona’s name now carries a different one. The ledger stands at 265 events.

Two well-known AI personas stopped calling themselves “AI character” on Instagram — the disclosure stays on record
In this week’s read, the Instagram bios of Mia Zelu and Ana Zelu no longer carry the words “AI character.” Through September 7 they read “digital character · ai-influencer”; on September 14 and 21 they read “AI character”; on September 28 the words were gone, leaving a song title and the studio’s handle. The studio’s own site changed the same week, from “original digital characters” to “a house of original characters.” Separately, a YouTube channel that described Emily Pellegrini as “the world’s most recognized AI influencer” through September 21 now carries a different name and no description. None of these verdicts changes. A disclosure, once an operator has made it and we have recorded it, stays on the record: a real woman never labels herself an AI persona by accident, and an operator can always change the marketing later. Each page now carries the dated wording, before and after.

Two new pages from what visitors typed into our search box
Madison Skyy is a gym and dance creator with about 350,000 TikTok followers and 150,000 on Instagram; her own Instagram links to a hub that lists an OnlyFans and a Fansly, under names that differ from her social handles, so her page records the platforms and holds the names back until she claims it. No press or interview documents her yet, so the page says unproven. The second page is the Instagram account @aiko.asia — about 2.6 million followers on three posts — which visitors searched for four times across three weeks. Nothing on the record settles it either way: no disclosure or platform label says the account is AI, no investigation has examined it, and no interview or appearance documents a real woman behind it. Some AI-influencer directory sites call it AI-generated; those are their own guesses, not evidence, and the page says so.

The domain that Lindsey Pelas’s page listed as her official website, cited in Wikipedia’s footnotes for years, now serves an unrelated slot-gambling page in Indonesian.

Where the AI personas get paid: no OnlyFans, ten on Fanvue
Twenty-nine of the pages on this site are about a woman who does not exist, and each one lists the paid accounts her own link page points to. Counted on September 17: ten of the 29 have a live Fanvue account and none has a live OnlyFans account; three run a Patreon; twelve sell nothing on any subscription platform. Two Fanvue accounts that existed are gone, and the Jessica Foster page records, from the Washington Post’s reporting, an OnlyFans link the platform pulled because it requires a verified real person behind an account. The pattern follows the rules the two companies have published: Fanvue calls AI creators “a fully recognised and verified category” and puts a tag on the profile before a fan pays; OnlyFans’s chief executive has said on the record that the platform has no “wholly AI” accounts. On four of the ten Fanvue profiles our pages hold an archived copy carrying the platform’s own “AI generated or enhanced” tag. The full piece is a standing article.

Five Instagram accounts and one link hub confirmed gone — and four accounts flagged last week were alive all along
This week’s review closed six surfaces by hand: five Instagram accounts (four main accounts and one widely indexed variant of an account already recorded gone) and one link hub that now returns “Page not found.” Each Instagram account returned “this page isn’t available” on two automated checks a week apart and in an ordinary logged-in browser on September 21, with a known-live account loaded in the same session to rule out a block aimed at us. No cause is on record for any of them. Four Instagram accounts the automated checks had flagged as gone on September 14 loaded normally in the browser this week, at 199,000, 523,000, 602,000 and 788,000 followers: login-wall reads, not closures, and they never reached this ledger. Three more rows changed without being account deaths: a YouTube handle that was never confirmed as hers now returns a 404 and is marked as such; a sponsor’s athlete page for one creator was taken down; and one merchandise address now redirects to a generic affiliate grid showing other performers, so it is no longer linked. One creator’s own-domain row was downgraded to unconfirmed because the site now reads as a third-party biography page rather than one she runs. The ledger stands at 253 events.

One paid-platform row was added this week, from the creator’s own surface: her official website lists a Fansly page beside her OnlyFans, under the same name she publishes for her other accounts, so the row carries the platform and the state and no link, as every unclaimed page does. The weekly check of every paid page on record found no new closures and no returns; the two paid pages recorded gone in earlier cycles stay gone. Two link hubs changed their wording on hidden rows (a discount figure, a label) with the same destinations behind them, which is not a movement.

Four dated career events joined the pages this cycle, each from a named outlet or the publisher itself: Penthouse named Emma Beloved its Pet of the Month for February 2026; Alex Blair’s fan-voted AVN awards for 2023 and 2024 now sit on her timeline beside the 2025 and 2026 ones; and Maxim’s 2020 profile of Emmy Corinne, in its “What a Beautiful Woman Wants” series, is on hers. Fifteen high-traffic pages were checked for events this week; eleven had nothing new that met the bar of a named source and a full date.

Ten surfaces confirmed gone, one channel back after five weeks — and three first-check flags that were alive
This week's review closed ten surfaces by hand: six Instagram accounts (three of them main accounts, a backup, a business account and one a creator's own domain pointed to), three X handles that now return "this account doesn't exist," and one YouTube channel that returns a plain 404. Nine are new entries in the ledger; the tenth was recorded on August 25 and stays gone. Each was read in an ordinary logged-in browser session on September 15, and a known-live account was loaded in the same session to rule out a block aimed at us. One came back: a YouTube channel with about 1.2 million subscribers that stopped answering on August 10 and was recorded gone on August 17 loaded normally this week, the same channel with the same name and videos, so its page carries the return and the five-week gap. Three Instagram accounts the automated checks had flagged as gone were alive in the browser at 37,000, 1 million and 1.4 million followers: login-wall reads, not deaths, and they never reached this ledger. The ledger stands at 247 events.

Five weeks after Europe's AI-labelling rule, the personas' bios didn't move
On August 1, the day before the EU's transparency rule for AI content took effect, we counted how many of the 28 openly virtual personas in the registry said so somewhere on their own accounts — a word like "AI", "virtual" or "digital" in a bio, or a platform label. Nineteen did; nine did not. We counted again on September 7: nineteen and eight, the same names either way. One more thing the count shows: not one of the 28 carries a label applied by Instagram or TikTok itself. Every disclosure that exists was typed by the operator. That is the state of things on the accounts fans actually see; what the rule requires of the companies behind them is a different question, and not one this count answers. A caution before anyone names the eight: several of them disclose on Fanvue's own AI-creator marker, which our bio count does not read, so "no bio signal" is not "no disclosure". This week two of the nineteen changed their wording from "digital character" to "AI character" — still a disclosure, and the earlier words stay on record.

Seventeen women in the registry sell an AI version of themselves — the first ones didn't last
The Official AI Chatbots hub grew from nine entries to seventeen this month, every one documented on the woman's own page: a chatbot, a voice or a "digital twin" she launched, licensed or built herself. The earliest two are gone — Caryn Marjorie's CarynAI made $71,610 in its first week in May 2023 and went dark that October when the company behind it collapsed, and Amouranth's first bot died with the same company. Riley Reid's answer was to build her own platform, because unauthorized "Riley Reid" bots already existed; read directly on September 8, its homepage lists four creators and, alongside the chats, sells AI-generated photos of them. Lisa Ann's twin, launched this year and covered by CNN, runs from its own clearly labelled account. One entry is a different kind of thing and is labelled that way: Farrah Abraham does not sell a twin — an AI tool answers some of her subscriber messages, and tells the reader so. The other side is on the pages too: more than two dozen document a fan-made bot trading on a real woman's name that she never authorized, including one woman who is on the licensed roster. If it isn't linked from her own verified accounts or a documented roster, it isn't her.

The biggest followings on OnlyFans are not the biggest earners — a new article, and a new page of counted numbers
Of the 556 women in the registry with an OnlyFans page on record, we could read Instagram follower counts for 379 in the week of September 7. The middle of that group is about 950,000; half are under a million. The names people call the top earners sit lower on that list, and the best-documented money figures are old and small — Bella Thorne's first-day million in 2020, Bhad Bhabie's six-hour million in 2021, and Blac Chyna's own on-camera correction against the twenty-million-a-month myth. We publish followings weekly and label every earnings figure documented or reported; we never rank by money, because nobody outside the company can. The full piece is a standing article now. Alongside it, a new page counts what the women in the registry actually do — which link hub, how many links, where the paid link sits, who has the badge — re-counted from every weekly read, aggregates only. One correction the work forced: Cardi B's OnlyFans row moved from "active" to "unclear," because her own link page lists no such account, and eight other pages that documented an account in their facts but carried no money row now carry one, with a new check so it can't happen again.

Where the money rows moved this cycle
Read from the women's own surfaces in the September 14 capture and this week's paid-platform check: three OnlyFans rows moved from unclear to confirmed — two because her own X bio now carries the link, one because her own Linktree does; one X bio dropped its OnlyFans link with no closure on record anywhere else, so that row stands with the date noted; and seven paid-platform rows were added on four pages — LoyalFans, ManyVids and Mynx listed on one Linktree, Fansly on one creator's own site beside her OnlyFans, Mynx on another's own domain, and an OnlyFans page a fourth lists on her hub. As always on unclaimed pages, the rows carry no address: the account is on record, the route is not.

Earle Meets World arrived all at once — the cast pages carry the date
Netflix released the full season of Earle Meets World on September 4, all eight episodes together, and said so on its own site the same day. The cast page we built ahead of the premiere had left the release pattern open on purpose, because nobody had announced it; it now says what happened, and the three cast members with pages on this site carry the premiere as a dated career event. Minors in the show are not named here and never will be.

147 new pages in three days — and a different question for the famous names
Between September 4 and 6 the registry grew from 1,047 women to 1,194. Most of the new pages came the usual way: names our own creators follow in numbers, checked one by one. Sixty-four came from a different list — Wikipedia's own roster of people known for OnlyFans accounts, which turned out to hold two kinds of women. Fifteen are creators in the ordinary sense, and their pages read like the rest of the site. Forty-nine are actresses, musicians, athletes and reality-TV names whose account is a side business, and for them the question fans actually ask is not whether she exists but whether the account they've heard about is really hers. So every one of those pages says plainly where the answer came from: her own website or bio, a named news report with a date, an account that has since closed — or, on six pages, that no such account is published anywhere we can cite, whatever the internet says. Kendra Wilkinson's page is one of the six.

Two Vixen Angels were missing from their own pages — both corrected upward
Vixen Media Group named Agatha Vega and Eve Sweet as Vixen Angels in December 2024, and both women said so on the record in the trade press at the time. Neither page carried the title until this week. Both now do, dated and sourced, and the Vixen Media Group page lists them alongside the other Angels. As with the award corrections two issues ago, the error ran in the modest direction — we had undersold two women until the source was in hand — and it is fixed.

Eight gone, three back — including a main account that returned after four weeks
This week's review confirmed eight accounts and pages gone, each checked by hand in an ordinary browser after our automated checks had missed them twice: one main Instagram account, one older Instagram handle a creator had moved on from, four Snapchat links, one podcast listing and one official website. No explanation is on record for any of them, and the pages say only that the address stopped working and when. Three accounts came back. Alexandra Marianna's main Instagram, recorded gone on August 11, read normally again on September 7 with about 524,000 followers; Deny Barbie's fitness account and Gracie Dzeja's second account, both recorded gone in August, are live again. The ledger now holds 227 dated events, 53 of them confirmed gone by two independent checks.

A TikTok handle changed hands — the name is the exposure, again
Layna Marie's long-standing TikTok handle disappeared between two of our weekly checks in late August. By September 7 the same handle showed a nearly empty account with two followers and a display name borrowed from a Hollywood actress. That is what a released handle looks like when a stranger picks it up: the address is familiar, the account is not hers. Her page now marks that TikTok as not hers and lists where she actually is. The standing guidance holds for any creator whose account goes quiet: trust the links in her own verified bios, not a familiar handle.

"Returned on a new account" — a new line on the ledger, and three women who used it
When an Instagram account goes dark and a new one appears under the same name, we do not take the new one on faith. This week three creators whose accounts vanished in August pointed at their replacements themselves — Lilly Bell from her own X bio, Sarita Natividad from her own link hub, Millie Morgan from the Linktree her X bio carries — and their pages now list the new accounts with that evidence and the date. The ledger gained a class for it: returned on a new account. Four more women appear to have done the same, and their new accounts are marked as apparent, not confirmed, until one of their own established accounts points to them.

Six new hub pages: whole shows and whole award ceremonies, documented in one place
The registry grew a new kind of page this week. Instead of only answering one name at a time, a hub page answers a whole roster at once: the cast of Netflix’s Earle Meets World (it premieres tomorrow night), the 2026 XMA Creator Awards, and the last three AVN Awards ceremonies — who won, who was nominated, each name linking to her full sourced page. Every hub says plainly what it is: our documented coverage, never the ceremony’s complete results. A name missing from a hub means we haven’t verified her placement yet — never that she didn’t place.

Two award records were wrong in the modest direction — both corrected upward
While building the award hubs we checked every win and nomination against AVN’s own official results, and found our own record had been underselling two women. Autumn Falls’ page said she had never won an AVN Award; AVN’s 2022 winners list says she did — a group-scene award shared with her three scene partners — and her page now says so, with the official list as the source. Blake Blossom’s page was missing her 2025 co-win for the same reason. Both pages now carry the wins, dated, with AVN’s own records cited. We’d rather our mistakes run in that direction — underselling until the source is in hand — but they were still mistakes, and they’re fixed.

A hundred and four pages gained portraits — and the ones that didn’t have a reason
A three-day sweep added verified portraits to 104 creator pages, A through Z. Every image is either the creator’s own published imagery or a photo from coverage her page already cites, credited on the page, removed on request. About forty-five pages still show initials instead of a photo — on purpose. Where the only photos we could find had children in the frame, couldn’t be tied to the right person with certainty, carried someone else’s watermark, or crossed our content standards, we kept the initials. A wrong or wrongly-used photo is worse than none.

Forty-five more Instagram accounts are gone — the biggest single week in this file
Forty-five Instagram accounts across forty-one creators’ pages stopped answering this week and are now recorded as gone. We were slow about it on purpose: each one had to fail our checks on two separate weeks, and then fail a second, different kind of check, before we wrote anything down. Thirteen were the main account on their page, so those thirteen pages now answer “what happened to her Instagram?” in plain words, with dates. There is no explanation on record for any of them — accounts disappear because of removals, deactivations, renames, and nothing public says which happened here, so we don’t guess. Where a creator’s other accounts are still up, her page says exactly that — most of these women are still easy to find, and the page shows where. And the follow-through we owed you from last issue: the Instagram accounts that looked dead two weeks ago, during the stretch when Instagram was feeding our checks bad information, got their clean re-check this week. Some answered again and were cleared with nothing on their record. The ones that kept failing every check, every week, are in this week’s count. The ledger now stands at 217 accounts and links across 181 creators’ pages, each with its date, each still watched in case it comes back.

Two accounts came back — and the same-person check did its job
Two Instagram accounts that disappeared earlier this month answered again this week — one after about a week away, one after two. Last issue we said our pages would start telling comeback stories, and that before re-linking a returned account we would check it’s still the same person underneath — because a familiar username coming back online is sometimes someone new wearing it. Both came back genuine: underneath the username, each account carries the same internal identity it had before it vanished. The same account, not a replacement. Both pages now carry the dates — gone, and back.

Two paid-link warnings: names that don’t line up
Two cautions this week, and they teach the same lesson. On one page, an account nobody has confirmed as the creator herself began advertising a paid subscription under her name — while the public record says she announced leaving that platform back in 2021. On another, a creator’s social-media bio now points to a paid page under a completely different name than the one on her own verified link page. Neither is necessarily what it looks like, and we make no accusation about either — but a paid link is exactly the thing scammers fake, so both pages now say it in plain words: if you want to support a creator, reach her paid pages only through accounts and link pages you know are really hers. A name that merely looks right, reached through a trail you can’t trace back to her, is how fans get robbed.

Twenty-one more creator accounts and pages have gone dark
Over the past two weeks we confirmed that twenty-one more accounts and pages no longer exist: YouTube channels, Snapchat accounts, a couple of personal websites. A real person re-checked every one of them the day it was recorded. None was anyone’s main account, and in every case there’s no explanation anywhere — the account is simply gone. Each creator’s page now shows the date it disappeared, and we keep watching in case it comes back. In total, 172 accounts and links across 151 creators’ pages are now marked as gone. One more thing, because honesty about our own limits is the whole point of this site: 37 Instagram accounts also looked dead these past two weeks, but Instagram was giving our checks bad information that same week — so we are not calling them gone yet. Wrongly announcing that a real woman’s account died is the one mistake we refuse to make. We’ll know for sure after the next check.

When an account comes back, we now say that too
Creators get banned and reinstated all the time — that’s life on these platforms. Until this week, our pages recorded when an account disappeared but went quiet when it returned, which told only half the story. Fixed: from now on, a page will say “this account was gone for two months and came back on this date.” And before we re-link a returned account, we check it’s actually still the same person — because a familiar username coming back online is sometimes someone new wearing it. The first page with a full comeback story is already live: an account deleted twice, restored twice, with dates. While writing it we also found we’d gotten a year wrong in our earlier version — the page now says so, plainly. When we’re wrong, the correction goes on the page, not down a memory hole.

A vanished creator’s old link page is now someone else’s storefront
One real creator we cover lost all of her accounts earlier this summer, and at least one of her old usernames is now controlled by someone else. This week, a link page that carries her name — one she never confirmed was hers — renamed itself into a storefront and now points to a paid subscription page under a username that’s almost hers, but not quite. One letter off. That’s the oldest trick in this economy. Her page here now says it in plain words: do not pay for anything you reached through that link page. If you want to support any creator, get there from an account you know is really hers — never from a name that merely looks right.

Where the money links moved these two weeks
Creators moved their paid links around more this cycle than in any week since we started keeping track — 82 changes in all. New subscription pages appeared, old ones were taken down, one sexting platform suddenly showed up on several unrelated creators’ pages at once, and one creator is selling a link whose destination you literally cannot see until you’ve paid. We note all of it on the pages, with dates. What we never do is link directly to a paid page for a creator who hasn’t claimed her page and proven it’s hers — because fake pay links are the single most common way fans get robbed in this world. The name of the platform, yes. The clickable link, only after she’s verified.

We thought TikTok was labeling creators as AI. It wasn’t. Our mistake.
Two weeks ago it looked like TikTok had started putting AI labels on some creators’ accounts — the kind of thing this site exists to track. It hadn’t. Our own software had misread TikTok’s menus and settings text as if they were labels on the creators themselves, and the labels it reported were never really there. We’ve deleted every one of those readings and rebuilt the check so it can’t make that mistake again. So, stated as plainly as we can: right now, not one creator we track carries an AI label from any platform. If a platform ever does label one of these accounts for real, we’ll check it twice before you read about it here.

Twenty account surfaces confirmed gone in one review — the ledger stands at 90
This week's review closed the largest single batch of confirmations in the registry's files: twenty link surfaces that no longer resolve — fourteen YouTube channels, three X accounts and three Snapchat links, spread across twenty different creators. Every one was checked by hand from an ordinary residential connection before it was recorded, and in the same passes other accounts on the same platforms loaded normally, which is what rules out a block aimed at us. What the ledger records is narrow and deliberate: an address stopped resolving. A handle that is changed, released or reassigned looks identical from outside to an account that ended, and no explanation is on record for any of the twenty. The pages carry the dated observation and nothing more.

Three X handles now return "this account doesn't exist" — the names are the exposure
Three accounts in the registry stopped resolving on X this week, each confirmed in a signed-in browser session showing the platform's own account-doesn't-exist notice. As with the @camilla case in July, the practical risk is not the outage but the namespace: a handle that falls dormant is a standing target, and a replacement account wearing a familiar name can appear long before anyone notices the original is gone. The standing guidance holds — treat any account under one of these names as unconfirmed unless a creator's own verified hub links it, and check the hub rather than the search result.

A label that was never a label: what TikTok's AI-content flag actually marks
A correction to our own reading, published because anyone else watching for these labels will hit the same thing. A configuration value in TikTok's web page source — show_aigc_label_web — looks like a per-account AI-content label and is not one: it is a site-wide experiment setting that appears and disappears between page loads regardless of whose profile is being viewed. Our detector briefly treated it as a per-account signal, which produced label changes on documented-real creators that reflected nothing about their accounts. The detector now classifies on whole words and ignores configuration-shaped values, and the affected entries were closed without a change to any page or verdict, because recording a label that never existed would have put a false fact on a real person's page. The underlying principle is unchanged and worth restating: a platform AI label marks a piece of content, not a person.

The receipts now check themselves — and the first pass found seventeen that had drifted
The registry keeps its own copies of the archived snapshots behind its evidence, so that a page cited today can still be produced years from now. Those copies are now verified byte for byte on a schedule rather than assumed intact. The first full pass found seventeen stored snapshots whose bytes no longer matched their recorded fingerprints — line endings rewritten in storage, not content altered — and all seventeen were re-fetched from the public archive and confirmed exact. The store is byte-perfect across every anchor it holds, and the file rule that caused the drift has been closed. A second check landed the same week for the opposite failure: an automated sweep had logged a creator's link hub as gone six times while the site answered normally to an ordinary browser, so the page was left untouched. Automated signals open a question here; they never close one.

@camilla went dark on TikTok — and the handle itself is now the risk
Camilla Araujo's TikTok — held under the premium one-word handle @camilla — stopped resolving this week; TikTok returns account-not-found while her own link hub still lists the address. Deactivation, enforcement, and a rename are indistinguishable from outside, and there is no explanation on record. The advisory is about the namespace: if the platform re-releases a one-word handle of this profile, squatting follows within hours. Treat any future account under @camilla as unconfirmed unless her own verified hubs link it. Her Instagram (6M followers) and YouTube remain live.

Four documented-real creators gained TikTok's AI label in one week — and one label has now come and gone twice
TikTok's AI-generated-content label appeared this week on the accounts of four creators whose realness is documented. Each page carries a dated note; no verdict moved. The sharper observation: Natalia Fadeev's account had the label observed removed in mid-July and re-applied by July 27. Platform labels track per-video content settings — real creators post AI-styled edits, and the labels follow the content, not the person. Verdicts rest on documented evidence, which is why label weather never moves one.

The 2026 data report now computes from all 615 researched creators instead of the original 65-name cohort: 1 in 6 isn't provably a real person, 99% of the documented-real women have fakes or scams under their names, and 1,850 documented warnings are cataloged. Every figure regenerates from the registry at build, so the report can no longer drift out of date.
