One thing I thought about is alternative scenarios. If the house market had rocketed up for whatever reason, Zillow could have made a pile of cash without having a sensible strategy. Then the articles would be talking about what geniuses they were and ML trampling traditional real estate. They would double down and when the market calmed, all the same issues would reappear. Perhaps that's actually what happened, because the house market has been buoyant recently, and they seem to have had the iBuyer business for a few years?
