That doesn't make them tech companies so much as it dilutes what "tech" means.

- TrackerFF 3y agoWhat is even a tech company these days? Hosting a digital product that is able to scale to hundreds of millions of users?
- ioblomov 3y agoAlways thought of a “tech” company as one whose bread and butter directly depend on shipping software and/or hardware. By this definition, all of the “magnificent seven” mega-cap tech-centric companies qualify, though admittedly old media morphing into streaming companies muddies things a bit. Maybe a useful qualifier would be whether the business could exist without computers. So while the everything store of Amazon, for example, was in fact preceded by Sears’ mail-order catalog, its AWS division could have no reasonable analog analogue, putting AMZN solidly in the tech category.
