Why is every website page massive now?

462 viewsOtherTechnology

I’m closer to senior citizen than middle age, and I need to Zoom down to 80% at least to not get a headache and attempt to read something.

There has to be a reason why this is the norm now, and I don’t think it’s because of decreasing vision.

This has taken the joy of internet surfing from me.

EDIT: I appreciate the help with how to fix it as well! But I mostly want to hear WHY.

Terminology wise, it sounds like you’re saying you have to zoom out to the 80% mark because at least some parts of the websites you visit are set so large that only a small portion of the content takes up the whole screen.

I don’t know of a good reason this web design has been chosen, aside from what I’ve seen in other comments that the website owners are looking for ways to trigger more ad views. I have seen a similar presentation on one of my favorite sites as well, and the owners presented that it was a huge redesign they did and they were all happy with it.
