FTX-hosted NFTs break after website is redirected to a restructuring page

After FTX declared bankruptcy, the entire FTX.us domain was redirected to a page providing information on the bankruptcy proceedings.However, NFTs that had been minted on the FTX platform relied on metadata from an API at that domain, meaning that the NFTs are now pointing to broken links. Owners of these NFTs can still see that the NFT exists, but images no longer work—even when viewing the NFTs in their own wallets, or when listing them for sale on other platforms.Other projects that rely on the FTX NFT platform's API, such as the Coachella NFT project, also broke: the Coachella NFT platform shows 0 NFTs in existence. Those NFTs still show up where they are listed on external NFT platforms, although the images and metadata are broken.

@rysiek Because all the NFT actually lays claim to... Is a URL.

Sometimes I question if humanity is either this shortsighted or smooth-brained. And then I remember I don't need to question that, I have plenty of evidence.

@rysiek Additional note: I forget who, but at least one person made an NFT that changed with image was loaded at that URL depending on which wallet / exchange was looking at it, probably just swapping files on the backend on the UA header.

It was promptly removed from existence as OpenSea(s?) went "No! That's not how you're supposed to play the game!" And because most wallets use their API... It dropped off for EVERYONE regardless of what the ledger says.

@rysiek Yep, that'll do it.

I need to get off this thread or my morning coffee will become more Kahlua than coffee
