The way I read the article, the "worth millions" is the sum of the ransom demand.

The funny part is that the exploit is in the "smart" contract, ya know the thing that the blockchain keeps secure by forbidding any updates or patches.

Maybe it's because majority of people think that NFTs are a joke and don't agree that there are any benefits to this? Maybe they don't want to engage in a discussion because they already heard all the arguments and still think it's BS? I don't know, I'm just guessing.

Downvotes should not be used for disagreement... That's how you make echo chambers

I don't know, my instance doesn't have downvotes so I don't see them.
