# OpenSea

## Intro

OpenSea has decided to go this way: if the content pointed by the property “animation\_url” is HTML, they copy the HTML content to their server, and when the NFT is viewed on their website, they load this content.

This is a very easy implementation that works for some use cases, but it is not very flexible and works only for the basic use cases.

* For example, is the NFT distributor updates the code, they would expect the NFT to show the update automatically
* Another example, if the NFT code is in a directory and references things like “./images/my-image.jpg”, this will not work except if the whole directory is copied (which can be either impossible or a hassle and is prompt to errors).
* If the code needs its metadata or any other data to work, but the metadata changes over time, that might not be reflected and break the NFT
