I refer only to the first case.

The miscounting is indeed groan-worthy. But the conversion witnessed therein is perfectly acceptable, if rather informal in register.

Verb formation has always been a part of language. In this particular case, this construction is a well-known one on the internet, and the array of arguments the verb can take has broadened significantly. If it gains widespread use and catches on, then it becomes correct. That's how language works.

One need not like it, but them's the breaks.
