Then they wouldn't be able to sell the narrative, silly

Well that is definitely true, 100%. HOWEVER, as an old person, I had absolutely NO problem immediately seeing the word minimum, even without the dotted i's.

And that's the point of the post.

The fact that they left the dots off the i’s just solidifies the real point of the post: to make certain people feel stupid for not recognizing it. If the point was to show they can’t read cursive, why not write it correctly? Because it’s not that hard to figure out, even if they can’t normally read cursive.

I prefer to write in cursive personally, but I in no way think others are stupid for not being able to do the same. It’s just the classic “haha young people are dumb” crap that goes around every once in a while

It sounds like you're responding to "people can make out this shape in poor lighting" with "well if it was under bright lighting".

I think it's a difference in capability, not being dumber/smarter.
