Sounds like a you problem. If someone did me a service and told me I was welcome, my take would be entirely based on the delivery of the phrase. I don’t even know what to do with the gum analogy because that’s just nonsense.

I don't think it's just a "me" "problem"; there are many others who agree with my perspective in this discussion. Take a look around.

Remember that this is a post on their website. They're not pushing it onto anyone. So it's not like the gum.

Jeez...
But also that's a conversation where you can thank them first. That part isn't applicable to a post like this.
Try this instead: give a stranger a piece of pre-chewed gum and say “you’re welcome!” Hell, even if it’s not pre-chewed, it’s just presumptuous and rude. You have no idea if they value it or not. They might not even like it.
