Why are so many videos on social media horizontally flipped? Why does it seem like I am the only one bothered by it.
Here is an example. She is holding up books she's recommending. Books! I have to pause the video to try to read the title for each book. Nobody in the comments complains.

In another one, the influencer was holding up her college diploma to prove she has a degree in engineering for whatever reason. Pausing the video and trying to read the cursive inscriptions backward was impossible, so I gave up. Again, nobody in the comments complains.
Did humans evolve to read horizontally flipped shit and I missed it?
