Comment (by wildworks):

 You can get the default image correctly by including the dummy hash value
 in the URL as shown below.


 {{{
 https://0.gravatar.com/avatar/0000000000000000000000000000000?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g
 }}}


 Gutenberg uses the `avatarURL` generated at:


 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/b92491b8d22ba88c70b1b98805ba486502a0da05/src/wp-includes
 /block-editor.php#L625-L632

 The hash value of the first argument should have been empty before, but I
 am wondering why it suddenly started returning 404.
