Zillow has been buying online real estate companies and bullying traditional real estate brokerages and multiple listing services as of late. They recorded 9.6 billion visits in 2020 according to their 8-k. The CEO is former Microsoft GM, Richard Barton. Their stock was getting shorted in 2019 CEO so he injected 8 million, and then saved the company with "online house flipping" model. This month they announce a 500 million dollar purchase of another online real estate company showingtimes.com . 2020 earnings reported 789 million. That seems like a stretch from beating the shorts in 2019.
Barton donates to Gov Whitmer, but he is from the Left Coast so whats his interest in Michigan? Zillow is based in Seattle.
Zillow also use AWS s3 for storage. I remember reading digs about AWS having back doors ..? Question for anons does click stream work across other websites or just the owners? This company just seams like Big Data grab.
