		zksmk on June 7, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Sorry everybody, I failed with you A bit off topic, but instead of FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) I much more prefer the MAAAF or FAAAM acronym (Facebook, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft) because their monopolies basically make them a mafia family, and I don't really see Netflix belonging in the group.

That's a good point, also Netflix rarely has bad press as far as I know.

MAAAF for Mafia of MAGAF (Make Google Great Again, F...) are nicer.

If you want to make the allusion to the Mafia more obvious, then Apple could be abbreviated "i" (as in iOS, iPhone, iPad, etc.).
