    Nope. If you change Facebook to its parent company, you have to do that with Google as well.

    It's MAAAN.

      I got netflix for a month before all the other services spooled up. It was weird to be able to watch whatever I want without pirating stuff. I stuck with pirating though.

    Netflix doesn’t belong in FAANG. It was just there for the acronym.

    You don’t see Disney+, HBO, or anything else in there.

    It’s MAGA.

    Edit: this can only be averted if we include Microsoft, making it MAGMA.

      Back when it was first coined Netflix was definitely far superior to everything else, like streaming = Netflix just as much as using a search engine = Google.

      But that was years and years ago, these days yeah who cares about Netflix anymore.

    It's just MAAA now. Google (Alphabet) and Apple each have 16-20x more employees than Netflix, it was never even part of the club to begin with but especially not now. Pretty soon it'll just be AAA I guess, Meta only had like 6x more employees than Netflix before the upcoming layoffs.

      I thought (one of the) main reasons for the categorization is how these companies look on a resume? Netflix is supposed to have a very "quality over quantity" approach to their hiring, they only want to keep employees who work really well and apparently pay fairly well for it, so having history there shows that at least they thought you were good or had a chance of being good enough for them. If you see job ads asking for a "rockstar developer" or something, that means the company is trying to imitate that approach (almost always with the goal of being able to have less employees who they still pay well below market rate).
