The other nice thing about FAANG is that almost nothing they do is actually necessary. If Facebook rolls out a new feature and breaks something for a few hours, it doesn't actually matter. It's harder to move fast and break things if you're, say, a bank, and every minute of downtime is a minute where your customers can't access their money. Enough minutes go by and you may have a very, very expensive crisis on your hands.

Yeah, people get real upset about even 1 messed up money transaction.

Replying to myself in sibling: except maybe people paying for ads, which is more of a faith based action; it's well known a lot of ad traffic is fraudulent, but not which traffic. So if you pay for ads, who can tell what happened.
