"Shopping the deals on the McDonalds mobile app" sounds like a description of misery repackaged as a product for the American consumer.
It's not much different from clipping coupons for the grocery store, or keeping hole-punch coffee/sandwich cards in your wallet. Actually easier than either of those, to be honest.

A Big Mac in the US today is also much smaller than what it once was. It’s a Small Mac these days. A Burger King Whopper today is the size of a Big Mac of years gone by. The King still does burgers better than the clown.
No it's not. Big Macs have not changed size. Maybe things just seemed bigger when you were a kid, and smaller in comparison. (A while ago they temporarily had 3 "sizes" of Big Macs but that was a promo.)
Big Macs have gotten perceptibly smaller while Whoppers have stayed the same. Maybe the weight is still the same (many ways to play that game) or whatever but there are tons of people who have noticed the shrinkage.
This should be considered their service to the world. Less burgers sold leads to potentially healthier world.
Burgers are actually a pretty balanced meal. Meat, veggies and carb in one package. It all goes wrong when you add tons of preservatives to the meat and bread.
A homemade hamburger is decent food, though you're better off with leaner cuts of beef.

I’m in my 40s and have been eating Big Mac’s for more than 20 years and my baseline was not when I was a kid but from just 10 years ago.

I don't know why you think they have, but they haven't. You're mistaken. You've noticed wrong.
Maybe you came across a claim about it on social media, but it's been entirely debunked:

And Whoppers have nothing to do with anything here. I don't know why you're comparing the two -- the Whopper is a single-patty quarter pounder, and it compares to the McD's quarter pounder. Not the Big Mac with its double patties and extra bread.
The steaks they served in the double beef steak sandwich I got a few weeks ago was basically a single steak horizontally sliced into two. Served overcooked and overpriced.
They certainly don't have anything like that in most of the US.
Sometimes there's a breakfast "steak" egg and cheese bagel, but that's clearly not what you're talking about, and it's as much of a "steak" as a McRib is ribs...
(Also what does a steak sliced in two even mean? Steaks can be cut whatever thickness you want, every steak is just a slice of a larger steak. And the total amount of meat is determined by pre-portioned weight anyways.)

quarter pounder has 0 veggies outside of a couple white onions
A standard burger comes with tomatoes and lettuce. We’re not talking about specific picks from a fast food menu.
When a person walks into a McDonald's and orders a hamburger, it comes with dehydrated onions, pickles, mustard, and ketchup.
And I'm not saying that this is a good thing, or that it is a bad thing. What I'm saying is that here in-context where we participate in a discussion that is rooted upon an article about McDonald's, that's the standard.
$5 McDonalds meal? Try $5 Costco rotisserie chicken. Now that's an unbeatable deal.
Agreed; I get it when I don't feel like paying up for the ribs.
That said, https://np.reddit.com/r/4chan/comments/1ebjsff/anon_presents...> caused me to think.

The McDouble is arguably "the cheapest, most nutritious and most bountiful food in human history" https://nypost.com/2013/07/28/the-greatest-food-in-human-his...>.

Preservatives are only in the the bread, not the meat. Preservatives in burgers or ground beef isn't a thing. Either the ground beef is fresh and used quickly, or it's frozen. Meat with preservatives is mainly two types -- 1) traditional cured meats like prosciutto or bacon, where you're referring to the nitrites and maybe the salt, and 2) some cold cuts used in sandwiches, like bologna and ham.
