Not that I disagree with the sentiment here, but there’s a pretty gigantic footnote in the article that relegates it to the bargain bin of overhyped clickbait: ”That doesn't mean Oath is actually worth only $200 million in cash — Oath said it still has about $5 billion of real assets remaining.” Oath’s goodwill was dramatically overvalued, but the fact that it has $5 billion in real assets makes it difficult to describe the “almost worthless” label used in this article’s title as anything but clickbait.
