What resolution are you browsing at? I have a hard time showing that ad at all in my setup, but I’m not even at 4K and I get a HUGE picture of the rocket in question and still see more text than you show in the screenshot. That’s what? 720p?
I man, don’t get me wrong, ads are annoying, there’s a reason why I have so many layers of blocking I couldn’t even shut them all off to test this, but you seem to be browsing at what I’d call… legacy resolutions. You’d almost be better off twisting that screen 90 degrees and asking for the mobile version. Or, you know, you could lower the UI scaling in your display settings.
i’m at 1080p. the resolution is low but i need it that low because if i increase the resolution to make everything smaller, it’s too small for my eyes and it actually hurts my eyes. i need a big font, big icons, everything.
Ah. That’s more of an accessibility issue than an advertising issue, then. I imagine even without ads a bunch of modern websites expecting higher resolutions and smaller scaling factors will look cramped.
I was not kidding before, if you have vision problems that don’t play well with desktop views, mobile versions of websites tend to be a LOT friendlier to large text sizes. Have you tried setting your browser to a vertical window and calling up the phone version? On Firefox at least you can set the resolution of the phone you’re emulating and zoom it all the way up. The setting is buried in the developer tools, but there are tons of tutorials out there (TLDR, press F12, look for the button that looks like a tablet/phone). I’ll try to add an image of what it looks like on my device for the site you shared.
