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.
If you stop supporting unnecessary animal suffering you cut out a lot of unethical businesses like this from the start. I haven’t eaten there in years and wouldn’t bother if it were free.
You aren’t incorrect. We don’t have other good options though. There may be plant based options that work, but we don’t have access to them well.
I don’t eat fast food though, fuck McDonald, I fucking hate cllowns.
Ignoring McDonald’s entirely, what chain restaurant doesn’t have meat on the menu?
