Right, they curl to the side instead.
Though possibly not as much if you peel close to the adhesive.

#5The real trick is to not pull up, but pull in the horizontal direction opposite to the sticky bar. That way the paper doesn’t curl

#6I'm fortunate and lucky to have taught a lot of people participating in Design Sprints and other meetings where I occasionally include how to do just this -- peal-n-paste post-its the right way.
Recently, my daughter asked me how my post-its are usually snug wherever I use. Taught her the usual method but reminded her to be patient and after a while, it should just be muscle memory.

#7I don't get it, you are still applying the force in the same direction. I mean if you rotate the 'wrong' picture by 90 degrees you will see that they are both the same thing

In the "Right" photo, the glue is at the top of the image. In the "Wrong" photo, it is at the top of the image too.
The wrong movement detaches the glue from the center of the pad to the edge. The right one detaches it from the right side to the left side of the glue bar. Both directions are orthogonal.

Don’t rotate it. Sticky side is still along the top edge, but the peeling direction is parallel to the strip of glue, rather than perpendicular to it.

The green and red post-its have the same orientation, the adhesive is on the top for both. So when you peel the green one off, you're peeling the adhesive right-to-left across it, whereas when you peel the red one off, you're peeling it from bottom to top almost all at once.
