"this is pretty much exactly how it would be formatted in a magazine."

But the web isn't a magazine. It's like arguing that printing a book on five pound clay cuneiform tablets is a good idea, because that's how the Babylonians would have done it.

I'm saying that because I found pretty much nothing offensive about this layout (compared to actually offensive things like scrolljacking and whatnot), and the only difference between this and an "ideal" webpage would be to have it all on one page.

Otherwise this is just a web page with some embedded images and some larger text (which is pretty common practice on any long-form story website).
