>If someone does not read a contract or a legal agreement, before accepting or signing, it's on them
When was the last time you read an entire EULA before installing software?
I'm going to guess the time frame is somewhere around "never."
These are nuisance contracts designed to jade people with legalese while stealing their rights to things like class action and enforcing binding arbitration.
I skim or read all the time, and so should people -- but ultimately they're adults and if they want to agree to them without reading, it's their choice (they shouldn't expect to later say they didn't read - this doesn't work, and that's how the current American legal cases were decided as well, thankfully, see e.g. regarding arbitration). Btw, regarding class action and arbitration, many of us already know that these are present in bold in the terms of many services we use or are going to use without even actually reading them.
My 8mbps DSL line is $43USD/month after everything, and the cheapest internet I have access to.
The next tier up is Starlink or 250mbps Fiber, which have the same cost. I do not wish to support Starlink. But I also can't afford to almost double my internet bill.
I live on a major national highway in a crossroads town.
Most old forums would let you toggle Flat or Tree view, but Tree view was obviously beholden to hitting "Reply" to the post you were addressing, and not just copying a bunch of people's quotes into a bigger post, which would only show as a branch off of the trunk rather than a leaf in the tree.
Oh, you see, that's wind energy. No one can charge for the wind, so they don't like it. You can't build big expensive wind drilling machines and keep big vats of wind for bad days.
Citation needed. I went from Win7 on a i5-2500k that booted in sub 15 seconds on a SATA SSD to Win10 on a 5600x that takes 45 seconds to a minute to boot an NVME drive.

Too bad it's been completely broken by Windows 10. It can't even find the names of software I have pinned to the start menu. One of the things I miss most from 7.

Standard contracts sounds like the way to go.
