Old newspapers also didn't have ads breaking up the articles. None of this "ad between every paragraph" bullshit for the ancestors!

The did it with "continued on page 10". This forced you to flip through several pages of ads to get to the rest of the story. It wasn't just on the front page. They did it inside as well.

Yes, but that was generally because stories don't always fit nicely on a page. I've seen plenty of old-timey newspapers and laid out a few modern ones. It's all about what fits on the page.
