Weird URL. The official URL seems to be https://newsroom.spotify.com/2022-07-12/spotify-to-acquire-m...

The HTML source code has a canonical link that points to http://pr-newsroom-wp.appspot.com/2022-07-12/spotify-to-acqu... and which does HTTP/301 to HTTPS version. Weird indeed, and it might need fixing.

Interestingly enough, I can't send the appspot link in FB messenger, it thinks its spam and blocks the message.

Isn't that an app engine URL? I know Spotify is on GCP.

WordPress has hooks to allow pointing the uploads location to a different directory, which you can combine with PHP stream wrappers to have a virtual filesystem.

(Source: I wrote the original WP/App Engine integration back when Google first launched support for PHP; I also maintain a plugin that does the same for S3, for our AWS hosting platform.)
