- elashri 3y agoI always wonder why Netflix not Microsoft is included? FAAMG would be strange though.
- kowbell 3y agoWith F being Meta now, it’d be MAAMG.. AMAMG.. GAAMM.. GAMMA?
- Zambyte 3y agoWith Google being Alphabet now, it's be MAMAA
- Uehreka 3y agoFacebook is now called Meta, so the new acronym could be MAGMA. I’ve been pushing this for years, it’s the obvious choice, but people keep saying FAANG anyway.
- drewcoo 3y agoAnd Google is Alphabet . . . MAMAA!
- rakoo 3y agoIn France we actually use GAFAM, so we include Microsoft but not Netflix
- drewcoo 3y ago> I always wonder why Netflix not Microsoft is included? FAAMG would be strange though. Because by the time the term was coined, Microsoft was a slow-turning behemoth that had shed a lot of talent to help create the internal engineering cultures at the non-Apple others. Apple doesn't really belong in FAANG either, but at one point including Apple made it seem cooler.

- bee_rider 3y agoApple doesn’t even fit in there, it is a devices company first. AINA: Apple, Intel, Nvidia, and AMD, these companies actually design physical things that have to deal with the hostility of the real world, IMO they are much more impressive. Of course 3/4 lean on TSMC for the hardest part, so…
- BeetleB 3y agoI think the FAANG acronym was created originally to distinguish companies that paid really high salaries for tech. And for a while (if not still true), they paid the highest.
