It was treated that way by one commentator on MSNBC.

But let’s not forget that the original term was FANG and didn’t include Apple - the most valuable tech company or Microsoft that has been in the top 5 since 2000.

Netflix is around #50 in the most valuable companies - it at least it was.

On one hand, their product is not tech… it’s media. On the other hand, they’ve invented some of the best tech and have some of the best engineers.

Their streaming tech is a commodity. Any media company can throw money at someone like BamTech (now owned by Disney) and spin up streaming infrastructure.
