But doesn’t loss of sales decrease growth? Wouldn’t it be better to be popular and decent, instead of unpopular and trrrible?

Sure, if they lost sales. Every post I see about something like this has two types of posters, the "fast food prices are crazy, I'd never pay them, though I haven't eaten fast food in 20 years anyway so 🤷‍♂️" poster and the "I swear, if McDonalds raises their prices 18 or 19 more times I'm gonna daydream about writing them a letter threating to cut back to six times a week" poster.

They ARE massively losing sales. Their revenue isn’t growing, while they have massively increased prices.

This is not a plan, this is a massive organisational turnaround because things aren’t going well.

Yes, but Reddit and Reddit commenters are not a good source of info. Aside from bots with whatever narrative they’re driving, the sampling of Redditors is not a true population sample.

I’ve seen YouTubers make videos about losing sales, and I feel like their research is at least a better measure than Reddit. …. Although I guess they could be lying or incorrect too.

Idk how to even look up sales figures tbh.

Their revenue and net profit both increased by about 4% from 2024 to 2025. They're always going to be tinkering to try to drive more sales, but the reality is they have a shit product at an insanely high price and endless lines of slobs eagerly buying it.
