You mean corporations that wield more power than most governments, and have revenues equivalent to the GDP of entire countries?
If Universal or 20th Century Fox were to ever become a serious obstacle, Google and Microsoft are simply going to buy them. This isn't the early 2000s anymore. The power balance has shifted dramatically.
- astrange 3y agoFAANG already haven't bought or started competitors to the record labels they resell in their music stores. Don't see why they'll start now.

Other than Netflix, I think FAANG just doesn't care that much about such a small market (the market being "actually producing it", given they're already part of the previous numbers for selling and streaming it). And of course, both A's and the N of FAANG have their own commissioned TV/film content.
