no one calls it that

i see more and more people dropping the amazon A though

Anecdotally, I see FAAMG (dropping Netflix for Microsoft) more often, keeping Amazon and Apple.

not sure if it's for convenience or because it's the least desirable FANG to work for

I highly doubt that "MAMAA" will stick. Especially since it includes Microsoft.

There seems to have been a trend for people to really want to include Microsoft in recent years, and that’s part of it.

> Especially since it includes Microsoft.

FAANG includes Netflix, which everyone keeps repeating does not belong in this acronym.

Let's just go with MAAAM

Why don't they belong..? Their salaries are known to be among the highest of all.

As pointed out numerous times on HN [0], the term has historically represented a grouping of stocks of several tech companies, not how much they pay to their employees.
