On that part, I never understood why people put Netflix in there, except for making it easier to pronounce. Netflix feels neither like a sheer evil corporation nor an abusive quasi monopoly, nor a giant in any specific way (why would we put Netflix in front of Disney for instance?)


It's all about stock value [1]:

> Overall, it is through strong financial performance such as this that the FAANG stocks have prospered recently. Over the past five years, for instance, Meta and Amazon have seen stock-price increases of 185% and 500%, respectively. For their part, Apple and Alphabet saw price increases of about 175% over that same timeframe, whereas Netflix saw its value rise by nearly 450%.
