The biggest hijacker of utility functions is children.

Edit: So I spoke about this specifically with a lesswronger parent tonight. He says that he feels like the weightings on his original utility terms have not been changed much, rather that he discovered a new term that is fairly large. This seems reasonably different from my intuitive version of "hijacking."

Discovered, or added?

Specifically discovered. We talked about that distinction.
