This seems to be a thing that's been going on for awhile.

I noticed this, too! What is this?
I have noticed this and I even know the name for what this is!
I'm a graphic designer, and there isn't even a name for this.
I have noticed this, and I'm coining a name for this right now.
I'm a cultural anthropologist and know the sordid history of this practice.
I haven't noticed this.
