Alterior is not a word, and even if it were, it would not be correct in the phrase being discussed. Only Ulterior, originally meaning 'at a later time' or 'hidden'. Due to spelling-challenged people posting plus dumbass marketing trying to make cool jokes, people see it more often and so assume it's a word. It isn't yet, but I'm sure UD will list it eventually and in 5 years it will be in MWD as an 'alternate spelling'. The same thing is happening with a bunch of other non-words or incorrect usages, for instance 'loose/looser' instead of 'lose/loser'.
Get off my goddamn lawn.
