What it means

A cartoon man called “the updooter” enthusiastically argues for constantly updating software, using familiar pro-update slogans while ignoring the security, privacy, usability, and cost problems those updates can create. The joke mocks people who treat every new version as automatically better and dismiss criticism as outdated or technologically backward.
