You can’t really tell in the photo, but I believe that in the “correct” picture on the left, the adhesive is on the bottom near the thumb, or the side opposite to that.

If the adhesive edge was an axis, the article is saying to peel along that axis, whereas more typically folks peel perpendicular to the adhesive axis, causing the post-it to curl up and out from wherever it is placed.
