why are so many pics and videos on social media backwards?

You mean like it’s filmed in a mirror?
If you’re filming with the selfie (front-facing) camera on a phone, it’s common for the app to flip the image so it feels like you’re looking in a mirror when you record the video watching yourself on the screen. After all, that’s what we’re used to looking at ourselves with.
So the video is actually recorded that way.
The TicToker wants you to see what they saw when they were shooting in “mirror-selfie” mode. This is how they practice, in front of a mirror. They don’t want you to see what they actually looked like, that’s not the scene they were composing. Good ones avoid writing and things like that which make it obvious what they are doing.
Some YouTube channels mirror videos from other sources if they’re trying to get around copyright laws because technically you’re not using the original video. I can’t comment on how effective this at actually avoiding copyright.
