    Camera apps nowadays “correct” for that and do mirror the image for preview

    Huh, I always thought people who post flipped photos are just technically challenged (and/or have really poor eye for detail to not notice it). Never considered someone doing that on purpose just to further their own delusion of what they look like.

      Or maybe it’s just what the camera defaults to and they don’t bother changing it because why would you? Which is a more reasonable assumption than calling them delusional

        Um… that’s what I said was my assumption. But according to the comment I was replying to, people prefer the flipped version because it looks like what they see in the mirror, i.e. what they think they look like.

      It’s more about the image being saved looking like the one I saw in the preview when taking it.
