Upon receiving my BAT 2 days ago, I went to tip a small amount to a publisher on Vimeo, however, their verified blue tick had disappeared, and the popup banner only gave me the option to tip Vimeo.
I thought this was strange, but still this is a present issue/bug today. Not a single creator is verified on Vimeo anymore (that I can find). Can anyone else see the verified symbol?
I found a similar issue on GitHub from a few years ago. Perhaps related;

## Description
Rewards panel does not show creator specific information for vimeo publishers. Subsequently, you are unable to tip specific Vimeo publishers as well.
This doesn't work on older versions where it used to (ex. 1.12.x as per https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/9502#issuecomment-666704554) so it is likely there was a change on Vimeo's side.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Clean profile
2. Enable Rewards, wait for publisher list indexes to be downloaded
3. Visit a vimeo page (ex. vimeo.com/bravelaurenwags on staging)
## Actual result:
Vimeo publisher info is not shown in panel. Note, viewing the video from this page still seems to add the publisher to the AC list.

In the above, it should say "Lauren on Vimeo" (or similar)
Additionally, choosing one of the tip buttons does not bring up the publisher's banner, but shows the generic banner for a non-verified publisher.
## Expected result:
Vimeo publisher info should be shown in the panel.
## Reproduces how often:
