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.
I'd strongly suggest running a higher resolution (if your monitor supports it) and just using the various scaling/accessibility options of your OS. I cannot handle raw 4k any more, but I've been running with it just fine at 150% scale for probably over a decade now, on various versions of Windows and Linux (XFCE and Plasma, mostly). Only the very rare ancient program from Windows XP days won't scale properly, and even then you can just tell the window manager to scale the whole thing.
I say all this because things will literally be clearer and more legible if you run your monitor at native resolution and have the OS/browser render things larger. If your monitor is 1080p... well... I guess just know you shouldn't have to fear being picky with a new one if/when the time comes!
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.
yeah i guess the issue could also be solved with a larger screen (mine is currently A4paper sized) but i don't have much space for it in my apartment, and also i don't like the high cost and inflexibility of such a setup. i like my setup to stay small and flexible.
