    Of course not. How will a multi-million dollar corporation be able to host a simple website on their own without ad revenue? Think of corporations!

      It’s not ad revenue. If you’re on a site to buy something, and you see an ad and click away from the site where you can buy the thing, someone’s fucked up terribly; there’s no way the ad revenue was worth the lost potential lost chicken sandwich.

      They’re irritated because your ad blocker is preventing third-party tracking devices from linking your chicken purchase back to a wider consumer profile of you from other ad activity on the internet.

        linking your chicken purchase back to a wider consumer profile of you from other ad activity on the internet.

        Based on the time spent on KFC.com, the lingering cursor sweeps over the images of chicken, and the occasional clicks to purchase but failure to put payment information, we have determined that user mozz is a fox.

    Why the fuck do they care? They can’t possibly make much money on the ads on their chicken website.

      Yeah wtf are they saying exactly?

      That you, the customer, shouldn’t have any secrets?

      The general feeling of the words gives the impression that they have nothing to hide (except their spice blend that the good ol colonel cooked up.)

      Scrutinize it for a secons and it’s a pretty fucked up thing to tell your customer.
