Can we please stop calling them FA(A)NG already?

Facebook is now Meta; Google is Alphabet; Netflix is a joke, and not really on par with others; and Microsoft is still there, big and relevant.

At least call them MAAMA, or even better AAMA (Meta is evil and nobody should want to work there).

Nobody actually talks about "Alphabet" or "Meta". They will always be Google and Facebook. The pet-names of the corporate entities are completely irrelevant.
AMAMA is better. Symmetry. If you remove meta then AAAM or MAAA are the two options in the lowest entropy macrostate.
who cares lmao. FANG was really the only acronym that people could agree on. whatever MAAMA MANGA GANMA, no one can agree on these days.
