They only allow 3 buttons at any given moment on your screen and they then use the Monty hall problem to always guess the exact one you are going to pick

Serious answer from someone who makes apps for newspapers.

Ads, it's always the f*cking ads. Badly written javascript widgets that load slower than honey in a blizzard
