Ledger
Three Instagram accounts confirmed gone — and four accounts came back
This week’s review closed three Instagram accounts by hand, each returning “this page isn’t available” on two automated checks a week apart and in an ordinary browser, with a known-live account loading normally in the same session. Four others came back: Bethany Lily April’s website after about two months, Shayna Holt’s YouTube channel after about eleven weeks, Maddison Sutton’s website after about four weeks, and Megan Barton-Hanson’s Instagram, whose one missed check turned out to be nothing. Three YouTube channels answered “not found” for the first time this week; 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 270 dated events.

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.

Two new lists — every Penthouse Pet and the 2026 XBIZ Awards — and the agency rosters, re-read
The Penthouse Pets page lists the 45 Pets of the Month and Pets of the Year who have a page here, each placement taken from Penthouse’s own pages, with a plain answer to why the “2024 Pet of the Year” was a 2023 Pet. The 2026 XBIZ Awards page lists the 95 winners and nominees from the January 18 show who have a page here. Every woman on a list now links back to it from her own page. The agency and AI-creator lists were re-read against the groups’ own pages too: Unruly Agency’s own roster added nine names, Vixen four, and the Fanvue AI list four; Hussie Models is now Glow Models, after a change of ownership reported in August.

Ten of the most-searched pages, read again from the top
Julia Filippo, Dainty Wilder, Lanah Cherry, Lucy Mochi, Miss Lexa, Amirah Adara, Ariel Demure, Maeurn Smiles, Rita Faez and Liana Love are among the names people search most. Each page was re-read this week: every account checked again in a browser, every source opened again, and new dated milestones added — Miss Lexa’s May award win, Ariel Demure’s three AVN acting wins, Amirah Adara’s two September wins in Amsterdam, Lucy Mochi’s April Penthouse title. Questions people ask about them, like how old they are or where they are from, are answered only where the woman has said it herself.

Where the money rows moved this cycle
Read from the women’s own link pages in the October 5 capture: two creators’ pages stopped listing a paid platform they had listed before — one dropped OnlyFans, one dropped ManyVids — and both rows stay on record, unlinked, under review. Fanfix, a paid subscription site, is now handled like every other paid platform here: four pages that linked straight to a Fanfix account no longer do, and the link appears only if she claims her page.

We checked every archived IMDb page we cite — half were the bot-check screen
Every source here is backed by a copy saved in the Internet Archive, so it stays provable if the page changes. This week we opened all 214 saved copies of IMDb pages we cite, and 107 of them showed Amazon’s bot-check screen instead of the page. We replaced 99 with the nearest saved copy that really shows the page, each one checked, and removed 8 that have no good copy anywhere — those sources now show as not yet archived until one exists. New copies are now checked the same way before they count.

Bing: the best week yet, and Copilot cites this site twice as often as in August
Read from Bing’s own reports on October 5: 522 clicks from Bing search in the seven days to October 3, the most yet, and Microsoft’s Copilot cited pages here about 7,000 times that week, up from about 3,400 a week in mid-August.
