"2048, the most addictive game since Tetris, was recently released. Its origin has been traced back as far as Threes!, which inspired 1024, which inspired 2048. Finally, an improved version, with animations, was written by Gabriele Cirulli, 19 year old from Italy.
The game has enthralled many, and led directly to the waste of countless potentially productive hours. A variety of permutations have since surfaced: 2048 in 3D, 2048 in 4D, and 9007199254740992.
Some ask why it's so addictive. I say, it attacks our pleasure centers in ways that Wesley Crusher already warned us about."

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

...except for Tetris, so for me it is a "news" article.
Which I didn't have to read if I didn't want to.
When I figured out the article below it was about Popcorn Hour, I already had seen other articles about that so I decided not to bother to read that one, but I'm not going to have a hissy fit about it being on the main page.
The difference between here and the other place is, so far, the other place has decided you're getting Beta sooner or later whether you want it or not, and that the important thing is not the conversation that occurs in the comments (so it's okay if Beta borks the comment handling) but replacing us with an "audience" better suited to consuming the ads they plan to sell.
So, Slashington Post is coming, like it or not, but we aren't, that I can tell, in danger of Soylington Post any time soon.

One's a set top box, one's software, with neither of which I have any first hand experience, and I thought I remembered which was which.
Apparently not.
