There were several similarly large companies that Facebook killed by modifying their algorithm. Let's not pretend that the scale of "hundreds of millions" sized companies can stand up to pressure from Apple/Google/Meta/Microsoft/Amazon.
And what's the new acronym to refer to those companies?
- mojuba 4y agoGAMMA - though it'd be too cool for these guys.
- kmeisthax 4y agoMAGMA also works
- anonymousiam 4y agoOr delete Facebook (Meta) and now you have MAGA!
- colejohnson66 4y agoIf we're renaming Facebook to Meta in these acronyms, why is Google->Alphabet always ignored?
- mojuba 4y agoBecause Meta = Facebook + Instagram + WhatsApp, all quite significant customer-facing products. What is Alphabet then? It's Google, which is a long list of well known customer-facing products, plus a bunch of obscure or experimental companies the public largely doesn't care about.
- jefftk 4y agoToo many vowels
- tsol 4y agoG'MAMA
- ayewo 4y agoIt's MAMAA now = Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Amazon, Alphabet
- ec109685 4y agoPlus when they shutdown their app platform.
- int_19h 4y agoMaybe instead of inventing a new acronym every few years, we should just call it the "tech oligopolists"?
