You are the boss of a company of one. Your company sells labor to the labor market, it makes investments in assets, it borrows funds, etc.
It’s your job to decide how that company is run. It’s your job to decide what investments that company needs to make to get good returns.
It’s also your job to interpret the contracts your company enters into and decide what is acceptable, and to appropriately risk-manage legal hazard, reputational hazard, etc.
There is nobody else to run this company. It does not have a right to a good outcome. A lot of companies fail. Your company of one WILL fail if you make poor decisions.
When you truly internalise that last fact is when you become an adult.

in your .sbclrc (or whatever the equivalent is for your implementation) and never have to see all-caps again.
And yeah, the default upcasing is ugly and inelegant, but they were trying to support the caps-only machines & code still in use at the time. It’s one of the key things I’d change in a modern Lisp standard.
But you have to admit: when the default print-case is one of the worst things in a language, that language is doing pretty well.
I’ve been using this[0] GUI for years which is cross platform (Python not electron) and works amazingly. Let’s you do custom download formats, and accepts any input normal YouTube-dl accepts (videos, playlists, channels, etc). I use it almost daily.
> Does YouTube's TOS really not contain statements giving them the ability to stop hosting any video, at any time, for any reason?
The highest court in Germany (for civil and criminal proceedings) wrote this in one of their rulings:
> Depending on the circumstances, especially if private companies - as in this case - move into a dominant position and take over the provision of the framework conditions of public communication themselves, the fundamental rights obligation of private parties can in fact be close to or even equal to a fundamental rights obligation of the state.
So as long as YouTube, Twitter etc. are open to "the public", they could write "we reserve the right to remove any content for any or no reason at any time" in their TOS and it wouldn't be valid in Germany.
