What is Oath doing?

Now that Verizon purchased Yahoo and established a new company Oath... Suddenly Oath becomes a giant company with the size of employees over 10000... Anyone knows what they plan to do with Oath?

Easy consolidate meaning layoffs are coming

Acquisitions at this size are messy and take a while to produce real value. Check back in a year. Lots of value to unlock with VZ data. Don't expect impressive consumer side innovation. Expect the classics (yahoo sports, yahoo finance, huffpo, tech crunch, etc) to keep on delivering. DSP is a big part of the company, which is not that interesting. Increasing momentum for Gemini could be very interesting.

It sounds like verizon wants to mine my personal information they obtained as my carrier. Time to switch I guess.

Every provider is mining everyone's personal data. VZ services are actually decent. If we were acquired by AT&T I'd have been fucked it.

There's a yahoo v aol civil war over culture and products. Whose player, whose ad tech, whose CDN etc. It ugly. Lots of people will leave because of RIFs and lots will leave because the environment is toxic. Least fun I have had at work in a very long time

Yahoo moves too slow and AOL too fast. They need to meet in the middle.

Yahoo SavageSen Aug 9, 2017

AOL too fast? Really?

Fuck no. These types of acquisitions never ever go well. It's all about milking the cash cows for as long as possible.

This is beyond a dumpster fire. Zero direction.
