Am I misunderstanding basic Invisibility? Or is YouTube actually full of genuine videos of ghosts and supernatural phenomena shot on cell phones? If so, why are they all so blurry? 😋

Yes. Youtube is "actually" full of genuine ghost pictures in a setting where ghosts are real. To be specific the reason why by default Invisible doesn't affect machines is because being able to be photographed even though invisible to the naked eye is part of ghost mythology. It is after all easy to make mistakes that produce what looks like a ghostly apparition or deliberately fake one so there have been a lot of ghost photos.
As to why they look blurry, well they are blurry. Just because a machine can see them doesn't mean that the machine can see them all that well. The invisibility just doesn't work well enough to hide.
