@darius i think it'd still be worthwhile to maintain that for each supported social media site as they update. simple enough to detect a breaking change like you describe unless the site is deliberately trying to sabotage it. major social media sites have reliable APIs you can use to directly query the data fields we're talking about so you wouldn't even need to use HTML to verify in the first place.

@NervousGamedev we actually do something like this at the place where I work and it is a much bigger nightmare than you might imagine, requiring a lot of labor. And also major social media sites change their APIs all the time -- it's one of the main reasons I got interested in running my own social media, so that I could guarantee consistent APIs for my bots
