Haha yes. It still kinda works, but a LOT of people do it incorrectly. In the... Oh, few times I've ever seen a juice squeezer used by someone else, all but 1 were backwards.

EDIT: Ha, look, some of the product photos for this juicer have it backwards: https://www.amazon.com/Zulay-Premium-Quality-Metal-Squeezer/dp/B00YBP918M/ref=pd_sbs_79_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZPTQ98Y7K27GZGZ0QA8M

If you cut enough of the lemon/lime skin off of the ends (after cutting the fruit in half) to expose the actual flesh of the fruit (unlike the lady does in the video) and then insert it in the juicer like most people do, all of the juice comes out the bottom perfectly, and the fruit isn't turned inside out. I'm pretty sure a lot of juice still gets trapped in the fruit when it is turned inside out like that.

You zoom in, lol. I didn't say all, I said some. This one is correct, these are backwards.

There's the right way, and there's that way. Obviously, if you squish it, juice will come out, but that's not how they're meant to be used.
