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.

Agreed a paid conversion is always much more profitable than the aggregate ad rev/tracking benefit per thousand.
It’s bizarre to produce this message on a product site designed to sell direct.

Based on the time spent on KFC.com, the lingering cursor sweeps over the images of chicken, and the occasional clicks to purchase, we have decided that is a fox

I once went to a pretty sad zoo, which had placed a lion enclosure directly across the person-walkway from the enclosure for a large bird. It was clear that the lion spent a significant part of its life looking across the walkway and wishing it could eat the bird.
