Rockefeller's wealth was ~420 billion (inflation adjusted) at its peak. That's significantly more than Bezos and Gates combined. So no, Standard Oil won't look like a lifestyle business compared to FAANG giants. You can make a point without using hyperbole.

> also control the infrastructure running a huge portion of the internet

AWS has less market share than Microsoft. The Cloud is a pretty competitive space.

> are working on creating a new ISP

This is great, look what Google Fiber did to fiber availability in the US. More competition is great in this space.

I find it ironic that you're complaining about FAANGs in the context of ISPs, who control literal monopolies in several regions.
