MANGA sounds more fun then FAANG so that’s nice
- ksec 5y agoMAGMA Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon ( Netflix doesn't belong to Big Tech )
- mandeepj 5y agoIs n’t MAGNA better?
- kroltan 5y agoNot if you read Japanese comics, or if you speak Portuguese.
- playpause 5y agoIt’s a good thing if it clashes with existing words?
- kroltan 5y agoMagna is also a clash, so I'm not sure what's the benefit there. At least manga and mangoes are funny, magna seems just posh and insufferable (which if you ask the right people, is an accurate description of those companies)
- jedberg 5y agoIf we didn't change G to A I don't think we'll change F to M either.
- lapetitejort 5y agoWell that's just your opinion MAAAN.
- efrecon 5y agoWe just need Microsoft and Netflix to rebrand AAAAA
- tobr 5y ago> Microsoft Folks, here’s a good example of why you should read the article, or at least the title, or at least the thread you’re replying to before you comment.
- gnabgib 5y agoMicrosoft should be in there, but the M in this case is from Facebook->Meta... so you need Facebook to rebrand again for AAAAA.
- parenthesis 5y agoMicrosoft could change their name to Azure, and Facebook — or Meta — could be ejected.
- bytematic 5y agoI like MANAA
- aylmao 5y agoMAAAN
- vettedvat 5y ago"He still has PTSD from his tour in NAAAM"
- reayn 5y agoAt least the acronym that includes microsoft isn't offensive anymore, just a nice MAGMAN.
- alanlammiman 5y agoI've often found the need to refer to Facebook, Apple, Google but excluding Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft (ie in the context specifically of consumer internet, mobile, social but not ecommerce, b2b or streaming), but have shied away from FAG. GAF ('gaffe') would be great, but not sure anyone would understand it.
- aaaaaaaaaaab 5y agoIf you replace F with M, you must replace G with A as well.
- ModernMech 5y agoMANAA
- tasogare 5y agoIn France it's GAFAM that is most used, which makes sense since Microsoft is way more influential on the tech scene than Netflix, which is just a content provider.
- dekhn 5y agoit's really FAAMG in the US too, the people who coined the phrase were confused.
- philwelch 5y agoI think FAANG is more often used as a career benchmark, i.e. working at Netflix looks good on your resume and pays well.
- Apocryphon 5y agoIt's just because FANG (don't think Apple was originally part of it) was a list of fast-growing stocks, coined by none another than Mad Moneyman Jim Cramer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech#FAANG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech#FAANG Quite honestly that term in both stock and big tech senses is outdated. It should really include a few post-unicorn giants like Uber nowadays.
- tvararu 5y agoI’ve seen FAANGMULASS a couple of times.
- endisneigh 5y agowell G is not A, so it would be MAAAN. used in a sentence: MAAAN, why can't I get some money.
- mortenjorck 5y agoStick it to the MAAAN!
- systemvoltage 5y agoNetflix got shoved into this for no reason. It does not fit as "Big Tech".
- timbit42 5y agoWithout Netflix we've got MAGA. Can't say I like it.
- broof 5y agoWell I don’t think the acronym for Facebook Amazon Apple Google would’ve been palatable
- Apocryphon 5y agoThe reason was because of stocks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech#FAANG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech#FAANG
- babelfish 5y agoWhy not?
- hajile 5y agoNetflix is currently 12-13% of all internet traffic down from around 15% or so. Dialing in a little, they peaked out at something like 40% of all US internet traffic 4-5 years ago.
- rsj_hn 5y agoPersonally, the only thing I ever watch on Netflix now is the new Israeli TV stuff -- Fauda, Mossad 101, etc. I think this is one consequence of them shifting to being a "channel" with their own content (which I mostly don't care for). Almost all my streaming is with Amazon Prime, which has a much bigger selection of content suited to my tastes.
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- CookiesOnMyDesk 5y agoI'm gonna miss FAGMAN.
- vineyardmike 5y agoYou're the only one.
- crocodiletears 5y agoYeah, I liked that one.
- bostik 5y agoIf you ignore Netflix, you can get a pretty close approximation what this is all about.
- odiroot 5y agoCan we finally remove Netflix which doesn't fit in here? We can always replace it with Microsoft.
- spookthesunset 5y agoYeah, I dunno how netflix is in that acronym and not Microsoft. If you are gonna put in "netflix" might as well include salesforce, dropbox or github.
- Mandatum 5y agoHistorically it was because Microsoft and Salesforce didn't pay well. They're getting better, but they still don't.
