Grug like dense UI, but grug also remember what web look like before people who knew newspapers used it.
Newspapers look like they do for a reason. Grug eye tired sweeping too far left-right.
Grug split difference, leave room for user to use tiling window manager to make article take up half screen while other half is HN box to talk about article.
I mean, I have multiple paper rolls in my house that are multiple meters in length. I think you have some too. Paper can be made quite long, it's obviously possible. Ever heard of scrolls? The ergonomics are the reason, not the physical limits of paper.

Newspeper not long because newspaper printed on paper. Paper have limited height. Website not have limited height.
