By default, youtube videos are 320x240, but they are also now rolling
out 'high quality' videos at 480x360.

One option might be to use Xnest to create a lower resolution X
session, and run xmonad inside that session. That way everying will at
least be bigger?

Might help to use a xmonad inside Xnest that has a different mod key
than the outside world.

Here is some more information on the encoding for youtube videos, not
sure if it is accurate or not:
