Remember confirmation bias. Have you checked this against normal posts too?

I tried to search in SEDE but it times out as soon as I get a query which I hope will actually work.

On a smaller site like English, I can run this, and get zero results: https://data.stackexchange.com/english/query/616177/urls-with-http-20-pattern

Zero on Mathematica (too small to be useful, I guess), Ask Ubuntu, Server Fault, Super User, and Mathematics. Still times out on Stack Overflow. (The SEDE front page arranges sites by size, so I picked the top four after SO, and a smaller one by mistake -- Mathematica autocompleted when I wanted to select Mathematics.)
