Searching google for the definition of "famgopoly" leads back to your previous HN comments on various aggregators, and nothing else.
I like that you're single handedly trying to make this word happen against the crushing weight of social inertia and multibillion PR departments. It feels very appropriate for the topic.
- shadowgovt 5y agoHave you been able to piece together a definition for the word? I've yet to be able to tell from context what it means (it's a portmanteau of "monopoly" and "FAANG" I think? But is it supposed to mean all of those companies, individually, are operating as monopolies and should be broken up, or that those companies collectively form a cartel and should be banned from operating as such, or some third meaning I have yet to identify?)
