It has to do with how wide your screen is. The responsiveness of this piss-poor design was clearly not thought out.

But neither was anything else in this design, apparently. There's a 300px square in the middle of the screen that the _entire_ article is contained in. Everything else is just bullshit "interactive" chrome that's totally useless.

Sorry NYT, you're not worth the money you're constantly begging for. I love ad blocking.
