One of FAANG out of ideas?

* Change the name of it

* Change (brand) color(s)

* Modify icon (slightly) and have it as the major news of a release

* Do something seemingly stupid to get press coverage

It'd be way more cool if Meta was doing an A/B test of different corporate cultures on employees.
Serious q, will we start using MAANG from now on?

Edit: MANGA? MAGNA?

If you switch the F to an M you should also switch the G to an A

MAAAN

I’ve seens it as MAAMA. Microsoft, Alphabet, Apple, Meta, Amazon. Netflix is not a tech darling anymore.
Could be. The others are each building their favourite vision of dystopia for profit. Netflix are selling entertainment shows. Hard to see them as the same class of dangerous but equally doesn't seem to have the same scope for revenue.
Change Meta back to Facebook. Throw Intel in there and we can have MAAFIA.
These days, it's more like a list of the companies that ruined tech and the internet. Microsoft certainly belongs on that list. Netflix made it better for a while at least.
Or GAMMA for Google, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon
