Routinely clear out or expire stale creator info from `publisher_info_db` so that browser fetches fresh creator info upon next visit
See original GitHub issueDescription
For example, if a Twitter creator changes their name, and a user had already visited that Twitter account prior to the name change, it will retain the old string and show the old name string in the Rewards panel. The name is essentially cached with no expiration.
Solution
Clear out stale creator entries from publisher_info_db
periodically so that the browser fetches new information next time the user visits the creator’s page.
