Huh? Unless they are serving you a vastly different page than they serve me that's not the case.

UBlock Origin blocks 4 things right away, 3 of which seem to be ads and the logging or analytics. Then sitting on the page over the next few minutes that rises to 7, with the new ones all seeming to be logging or analytics.

Refreshing the page several times to see different ads, they were always either short banners that spanned the page or a square in the middle of the column about 2/3 of the column width.

Most of the time they were not animated. The only animated ones I saw just had an animated fade in which lasted maybe half a second and then it was static.

I overexagerated, it feels like dozen of ads by the real estate they take up. you're technically and precisely correct by your definition. I just don't go to most news paper and magazine websites.
