Retired sources

Sources that previously appeared on this page but have been removed. We list them explicitly so the historical claim is auditable.

X / Twitter

Retired 2026-05-01. Both X syndication endpoints were disabled, making non-API collection unreliable. The social signal now reads only LinkedIn and YouTube.

Ingest policy

• Every probe respects robots.txt per RFC 9309 before fetching, and pauses the source on a hard reject.
• Engagement fetches identify themselves as Mindber-LivenessBot/1.0 with a contact URL — vendors can block us cleanly if they prefer.
• Vendors who want any source removed from their product page can file a takedown or claim their profile to control what is shown.
