But what's the reason behind the huge text? Apart from making it easier to read on tablet there really isn't a need for it on Desktop (Which really is Laptop) and Desktop XL (Which really is Desktop). It hurts my eyes greatly to read to the point that it would be easier to read the huge text if the width would be bigger. Is there any data proving the big text-size being the best practises for UX? I feel like it would be counter-productive at the current levels. To counter having to move my eyes so much I've temporarily I've zoomed out to 90% so I can read the content without getting eye strain and headaches.

Moving to a smaller width for the site was a great choice though, it makes it much easier to see the next line and make some articles seem more fleshed out, but it doesn't fit well with the current text-size and especially line-height in my opinion.
