MAANG

MANGA

That's another layer of meta.

GAMMAN

But Google is now Alphabet, so should be MAANA

All the big consumer facing brand of Google are still under Google. YouTube is owned by Google directly, not by Alphabet. So it is fair to keep Google's G in the acronym. Also Microsoft should be in there much more than Netflix.

This gives us MAGMA. Like the thing that will burn you alive if you touch it.

If you leave Google as Alphabet, and keep the Microsoft for Netflex swap, it’s: MAMAA

And a 2-second 3D hologram of Freddie Mercury just popped into existence.

Close enough... https://youtu.be/pG-kdPZZwQE

> This gives us MAGMA

Best pronounced as Dr. Evil does in the first Austin Powers movie

If we added one starting with Z we could make it really confusing: AMAZAN. Any suggestions?
