Windows 8 from 2012 and mobile browsing for me are to be blamed...
We used to have 3.5", 4" touch screen displays and websites when viewed on smaller screen specially the font are tiny so they had to update their websites to use bigger elements...
Now that we have bigger smartphone displays close to 7" [19.5:9], the website elements keep getting bigger and even just the UI of android and iOS...
We got a preview of it with iOS 10 but bigger UI elements full launch was with iOS 11 and got worse and worse...
YouTube back then allows you to see about up to 5 or 6 videos on a row depending on the screen resolution but now on a 15" MacBook Pro 2015 [2880 x 1800 shown as 1440 x 800], only 3 videos each row is shown...
To me, MacRumors is one of the few websites that can be considered reminiscent of 90's to early 2000's website design...
Speaking of YouTube, right clicking the logo to open the site in a new tab now shows an oval surrounding it but is hidden afterwards... I just noticed it a few minutes ago...
