This leads me to believe they won't force the new redesign on everyone just yet

Oh it looks like the redesign is now the default for new users too. The times are a changin.

I don't think it is; that's the result of not clearing your cache. In private browsing mode I get shown the old design when logged out.

Sidebar ads have already been a thing in the old design for like a year.

Have they been consistently on? I guess I've seen them before too. These blank spots seem to be something new.

Yep, sidebar ads are not a new thing; I've been seeing them pretty consistently. https://imgur.com/a/whV5IuI/

Blank spots probably mean that you have adblock enabled.
