It's probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.

Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don't deserve to stay in business.

[–] benhum@feddit.uk 52 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They are tracking you so they can sell you more chicken. Remarketing.

I love how you could literally be trying to give a company money and they still want more...

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 23 points 2 years ago

And act like they’re doing youthe favor, to allow you to politely hand them your hard-earned peasant pennies.

If there's no secrets then there shouldn't be any problem with ad blocking

why the fuck they need to show you an ad. you're already there buying chicken

[–] UFO64@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Why make money if you can make MORE money?

[–] Hairyblue@kbin.social 50 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (8 children)

Honestly, does anyone ever read any pop up ad? I immediately have the emotion of hate that there is some annoying window blocking what I am trying to to read. They are lucky I just tune out what the hated window is telling me.

We should elect government people who would regulate the ads on everything. Ads can't pop up. Ads can't auto play. Ad can't be bigger than this.

We are getting to the sucky part of capitalism. Ads on everything.

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I always said if I was ever given supreme executive authority, I would outlaw ads and then immediately step down. It would be my one move, and the world would be better for it.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like how you didn't limit it to online ads, so you're talking about outlawing billboards etc. as well.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You are allowed to put a sign on the business' actual physical location - and that's it.

Ah, achieving optimal performance by letting them run more scripts and displaying more stuff.

[–] kusuriya@infosec.pub 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They never said what performance they are optimizing, I'm pretty sure it's profit.

Remember kids, adblock stops more than just the ads you see.

Also, fuck yeah I'd download a chicken tender.

Sorry, best I can do is never visit your shitty website again. Guess I'll order fried chicken from somewhere else, or, better yet, make a superior version at home!

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just close these types of sites and do something different out of spite.

What ads are even on a Pepsico website? Why would Pepsi need 3rd party advertising on their own website?

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably telemetry, which most ad blockers also block. I think you meant kfc instead of pepsi

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago (8 children)

KFC is under the PepsiCo monopoly

[–] droans@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yum (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) split from Pepsi a couple decades ago back in 1997.

They didn't understand what an adblocker is for? Their privacy vs. your privacy.

[–] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Secret? My god, the sense of entitlement of capital.

Just to be clear, is the implication here that people should use ad blockers in secret and that the "right" thing to do is to consume whatever media (and expose open tabs, history, etc) corporate wants you to see?

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Went to some kind of restaurant chain once (red robin I think?) and there were ads as we were eating.

That 11 herbs and spices is probably not a secret anymore.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

No longer a secret: The recipe found by Joe Ledington reads as follows:

11 Spices – Mix with 2 cups white flour

2⁄3 t salt
1⁄2 t thyme
1⁄2 t basil
1⁄3 t oregano
1 t celery salt
1 t black pepper
1 t dry mustard
4 t paprika
2 t garlic salt
1 t ground ginger
3 t white pepper

Please eat less fried foods, for your own health.

The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don't use a blocker, but this morning I couldn't read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don't have.

[–] Vash63@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Maybe your browser is blocking tracking or other cookies that adblockers also target.

Very important has to be the thing that I'm doing so that I have to open a browser without ad-block. For most things the close tab button brings me more peace of mind.

More importantly, why are you eating KFC (unless you’re outside of the US where it’s actually edible)?

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

KFC in Japan is actually worse somehow
