The fast-food giant said during the company’s Investor Day presentation Sept. 23 that it is launching the McDonald’s Media Network, a new advertising business that will allow other companies to place ads across McDonald’s digital platforms and restaurant screens.
McDonald’s began testing the idea in August 2026 at 450 company-owned U.S. restaurants, the chain said during the presentation. This does not include franchisees which are independently owned and operated.
The pilot features advertising from other companies on digital drive-thru menu boards after customers place their orders.
Between this, dynamic pricing, and the god awful food and service, there is no reason to keep eating this trash.
Why am I subscribed to this fucking community if all you’re going to post is clickbait about advertising. Jesus Christ fuck this place.
People still go to McDumbass?
They are going to put ads on the burger buns…
why on earth would I be at an american-owned fast food chain that is renowned for serving overpriced crap out together by somebody who couldn’t give a half a fuck about the burger being even moderately presentable?
oh, and the drive thru? I haven’t been in one of those in years. I’ll walk inside, thanks, then bitch about how they’re prioritizing drive thru customers over the one person literally standing in front of them

I went vegetarian almost fifteen years ago and aside from a brief stint of working there out of desperation, I’ve had no reason to go in one because there’s nothing there I can eat (no McPlant in the US). I don’t miss it. At all. And from everything I’ve heard their food has only gotten worse in that time.
No, I won’t. I don’t eat that crap.
Same here. But I’m afraid, things like and AI pricing will spread.
So they have a financial benefit now in slowing down food delivery times?
I guess they do now.
I don’t know why anyone fucks with fast food these days. It’s expensive and mediocre. Plenty of local restaurants with better food in most towns.
Chipotle is stellar if something prepared and warm is needed and you have a fridge+microwave where you’re staying. Ask for extra beans and rice, get a bunch of salsa (and a cup on the side) and a pack of cheap tortillas from another store. You can get four or more meals at 300-400cal each from one bowl, more if you have some cheap chips and salsa with it!
If you have a stove and lettuce, you can really “fancy” it up—plop two spoonfuls of bowl stuff on a tortilla, wrap it up tight, and shallow fry each side until brown. Mmmmmm
Haha. ‘Next time’.
Don’t you have enough fucking money, McDonald’s?

Late stage capitalism sucks
Anyone else see the illusion in the thumbnail? for the longest time I was staring at it, seeing the perspective looking down at the corner of the building, probably a drive through on the bottom left out of frame. sign faces to the right… read the article, look back up, now the perspective is looking up from the sidewalk, sign pointing left.
nope, fuck McDonald’s!
I’ve recently been to Five Guys for the first time and holy fuck, it was so much better than anything I’ve ever eaten at McDanooj. I’d say it’s about as good as fast food can get even.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s still slop, but it’s damn good slop.
Has McDonald’s everywhere been converted to cooking the food by order instead of pre-making a bunch of food, or is it just where I live?
I like their food these days, tastes pretty good. 🤷♂️ Complete overhaul of freshness, main ingredients. High quality IMO, much better than Burger King where I live, e.g.
