I'm not sure where the argument is going with this one, but Zillow did poorly for a variety of reasons. They bought at low prices hoping to sell high and tanked their business (Owned By Zillow, not the site). Homes owned by Zillow stayed on the market _significantly_ longer than their traditionally held counterparts.

As a homebuyer in the past year I can personally attest that of the 4 realtors I dealt with, not a single one felt inclined to show a "Owned by Zillow" home. In all showings they were poorly maintained and prepped. It *felt* like an abandoned home.
