`FiveThirtyEight` Archive Taken Offline, Exposing Link-Rot Risk

Thousands of pages now redirect to abcnews.com/politics. Content moats disappear fast when archives depend on someone else's routing. Useful signal for backup, citation, and archive-monitoring products.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Old FiveThirtyEight article URLs now redirect to abcnews.com/politics, breaking direct access to accumulated analysis.
  2. The affected corpus spans thousands of pages; SEO, citations, and training/reference workflows lose reliable source paths overnight.
  3. Small product angle: monitor owned/linked content for redirects, snapshots, and archive gaps before distribution channels erase the asset.
