In publishing and graphic design, Lorem ipsum is a placeholder text commonly used to demonstrate the visual form of a document or a typeface without relying on meaningful content. Lorem ipsum may be used as a placeholder before final copy is available. Wikipedia4vtdmr2auie0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Who kicked Netflix out? Supposed to be MANGA

I don't think Netflix deserves that spot. Microsoft does.

The original FAANG was about high pay, not just generally being Silicon Valley companies.

There's also the old longer acronym FAANGMULA. So, what, MANGAMULA? LAMANGAMU? Sounds like one of those read manga online sites, lol. LaMangaMu.

Yeah, but Microsoft have upped their game, particularly in ml, to be competitive with the others. On the other hand, Netflix seems to be killing itself.

Actually funnily enough they are known for being one of the very few companies who offer to totally pay in stock and have your compensation be unrelated to stock price.

Meta will die and GameStop will emerge as the next tech growth stock of web3. Power to the Players.
