I'm not certain RH has any say in how the popup is handled. I know they should (almost certainly) control the size of the ad, however. Unfortunately, BS like that is an unfortunate event in online advertising. I'd install an ad-blocker just to prevent any ads since you have vision issues. Not exactly the best way to support a product/service/company you want to support, but it will cut down on the crap ads like that one.
