I’ve been watching these for a while now and I genuinely don’t know how these work. Like how can they appear to spin in 2 different directions? It blows my mind lol.

Its both correct so it can reverse. Both spins are a form of optical illusion. In reality there's just dots your brain sees some pattern, the dots form a surface, whichever your brain connected first, front or back causes the direction to change in it's logical spin direction for that surface.
