When I browse the site on mobile, (android, chrome) and ads get added to posts, the text of the first paragraph or quote box gets squeezed into a single column on the right. See attached image, below. It looks like it could be fixed by also inserting a newline character after each ad.

One option is to use the desktop site on mobile browsers. Almost all mobile browsers have an option of "enable desktop site". I always use that option, so didn't face this problem.
