Why does MR continue to post news articles on the Front Page that have absolutely NOTHING to do with Apple?  Case in point:   
Black Friday TV Deals Include Year's Best Prices on Samsung, Sony, LG, and Many More
If MR wants to advertise some Black Friday deals that have nothing to do with Apple, put it in a temporary Black Friday News section or somewhere else.  If MR is going to post this 100% irrelevant stuff on the Front Page then MR has become nothing more than, in this particular case, a Black Friday website (like the thousands that exist every year) and now purely exists to earn a buck anyway they can.

Other examples of Front Page News that essentially is unfit (albeit related to Apple) for FPN are: some non-Apple app that now has some kind of upgrade, some brand new game that is now available, countless (and I can't stress this enough) posts (often several, separate news articles on the same day!) regarding iOS betas, and similar articles.

The constant "Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with some of these vendors. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running." is a joke...MR employs a dozen, yes 12, people...this is a company...not some small website run by a kid who needs help to "keep the site running".  Come on, MR...who are you trying to fool with that blurb? 

As a very long time visitor, I'm beginning to question if it's worth coming here if I'm going to be barraged by the stuff posted on Front Page News.
