Goodwill Disclosure [Text Block]	4. Goodwill Goodwill represents the cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. As of June 30, 2021, the total balance of goodwill was $165,088, and relates to the acquisition of Interactive Data, LLC, the Fluent LLC Acquisition, the Q Interactive Acquisition, the AdParlor Acquisition, and the Winopoly Acquisition (see Note 11, Business acquisition). In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that its fair value exceeds the carrying value. The measurement date of the Company's annual goodwill impairment test is October 1. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company determined that the reduction in operating results of the Fluent reporting unit, along with a decline in the market value of its publicly-traded stock, collectively constituted a triggering event. As such, the Company conducted an interim test of the fair value of its goodwill for potential impairment. Based on the results as of March 31, 2021, which used a combination of the income and market approaches to determine the fair value of the Fluent reporting unit, the Company concluded its goodwill of $160,922 was not impaired since the results of the interim test indicated that the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 17%. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in its interim impairment testing, including the determination of an appropriate discount rate of 14.5%, long-term profitability growth projections, and estimated future cash flows, are reasonable. The risk of future impairment of goodwill exists if actual results, such as lower than expected revenue, profitability, cash flows, market multiples, discount rates and control premiums, differ from the assumptions used in the Company's interim impairment test. The Company completed its quarterly triggering event assessment for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and determined no triggering event had occurred requiring further interim impairment assessments for its remaining goodwill. However, if additional reduction in operating results or a decline in the market value of its publicly-traded stock occurs, this could result in future impairment charges.
