Actually they've shown that the current "US" is of some importantce to them maybe not as much as the future "US", but still some. That's why they were going to change it so new accounts were going to have ads and not all accounts. They were hoping to please us (b/c yes we are $ to them) and when we still got upset about it that's why they said they were trying to make it so current users could sign up for new accounts and ( ... )
