I feel like I am the only person who CAN'T see the counter clockwise spin. Have tried all the tricks people suggest to make the spin reverse, still only clockwise. I feel robbed by my own brain. I WANNA SEE THE COOL SHIT, BRAIN, JUST LET ME SEE HER SPIN THE OTHER WAY (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

It only works for me if I use my peripheral vision. On the wiki page try looking at the text to the left with the image on the right.
*edit: If I read the first sentence under "Effect" she pops around when I get to the words "the lack". Hope that helps!
You aren't the only one. It's very clearly spinning clockwise to my brain, and nothing I do changes that.
Look at the feet. I could only see the same direction when the image was not fully visible at once.
I confirm, by hiding everything above her feet i can trick my brain into changing direction. I couldn't make her move counterclockwise
Amazing, your trick worked!
I find that slowly shaking my head in time back and forth can “compel” the model to go the other way. I am able to see both for that reason.
Turning my phone upside down flips the direction, then focusing on the movement while I slowly turn it back over helps me see it for a short while, until I blink a few times.
Actuality just 90° works a lot better
I can see her switching spin direction now and then if I continously watch the animation. Looking at the feet alone makes this more likely.
I'm under the impression that it depends on when I naturally blink, for instance when the extended leg is maximally to the left or right. Maybe that brief interruption of the visual stream allows for reclassifying the virtual information instead of fitting it onto an existing pattern.
If it's spining clockwise, close eyes, then slowly open left eye with rapidly blinking, starts spinning anti clockwise.
Cool. It's easiest for me to switch directions by focusing on the reflection of the foot.
