• Y is the informal corporate motto (or slogan)
of X. It was first suggested either by X

corporate values in early 2000 or, according to
another account, by engineer Amit Patel in

that, once you put it in there, would be hard to
take out", adding that the slogan was "also a
bit of a jab at a lot of the other
companies, especially our competitors, who at
the time, in our opinion, were kind of
exploiting the users to some extent”.
