Verizon. Yahoo! AOL. Oath:
Tim Armstrong, the head of Verizon's AOL division, announced Oath in a Twitter post on Monday afternoon: "Billion+ Consumers, 20+ Brands, Unstoppable Team. #TakeTheOath. Summer 2017."
The brand will apply to the digital media division of Verizon after it buys Yahoo's internet assets for $4.48 billion, a deal that is expected to close by the end of June. But do not count the legacy brands out just yet: Yahoo, AOL and The Huffington Post will continue to exist and operate with their own names — under the Oath umbrella.
[...] Many greeted the announcement with bewilderment, with some suggesting that Oath sounded like the name of a heavy metal band.

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

They own the 2nd and 3rd largest advert networks.
Given the google domination, thats sort of like being the 3rd largest OS at the turn of the century, that would probably have been minix.
I have no idea if money is changing hands but I was stunned to discover one of my wifes relatives had an AOL email address. Like imagine if someone gave you their compuserve login which was a very long series of digits. Or here's my fidomail address.
