FTFY. Oh, and an offtopic educational link for you grocers and foreigners and others who don't understand English:

I see enough of that shit on Farcebook. Note, I've been staying away from /. for the same reason, the normals have taken over the site.

That's why they changed it from "Unidentified Flying Object" to "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena". The one I saw a half century ago was certainly not a space ship, unless Douglas Adams was right about scale, because it was smaller than a basketball. It was bright and fuzzy, rode next to my car for a couple of miles until I crossed a stream, when it zigged at 45 MPH at a right angle and followed the stream.

I wondered what it was for years before I learned about ball lightning, which is what it had to have been. My guess is ball lightning is a lot more common up there where the fighter jets play.

They're legally obligated to maximize profit for shareholders.

This overly broad excuse comes up all the time. They are not legally obligated to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Youtube does not produce content. Content creators take time and effort to make content. If they don't get paid, said content disappears and Youtube becomes useless. How's that shareholder profit now?

Wait - you mean BOTH parties have to be in agreement for a contract to be valid? Every time I click "I agree" on an EULA a company representative never comes to my house to pick up my modifications to the terms of service - despite it clearly saying that they need to do this in the copy I provide for them. I also reserve the right to modify these terms from time to time. The fact that they allow me to agree despite my modifications implies that they consent to the amended terms of service. Because a contract is between TWO parties.
