Renowned investor Barry Diller has created the anti-conglomerate in Interactive Corp (NASDAQ:IAC) by sticking to his playbook of acquiring a business, growing that business, and spinning it out. That is his key to unlocking immense value for shareholders, and he's about to do it again with another promising company: high-end video-sharing site Vimeo.  Image source: Getty Images. The latest chapter in IAC's playbook IAC buys into nascent, online companies, with clear momentum. But instead of holding onto these subsidiaries forever, IAC sets out to build them into industry leaders and eventually spin them off as stronger, stand-alone companies. That is exactly what Diller and company is planning to do in the second quarter of 2021 with Vimeo.

It makes money off subscription fees from its individual and corporate subscribers. Unlike YouTube, Vimeo focuses on more artistic video creation for filmmakers and businesses, rather than enabling vlogs or viral videos. IAC will divest Vimeo through an initial public offering because it believes Vimeo will attract more funding as…

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story……. Original story (published on November 15, 2020) follows: YouTube is easily the most popular video-sharing platform in almost every country in the world. The site claims that it has over 2 billion monthly logged-in users and over a billion hours of video is consumed every day.

Fortunately, major issues such as this do not happen often, however, less impactful bugs do annoy users…
