I only see clockwise. (After reading the article it makes more sense … I’m a lefty.)
This is a hoax. Watch which foot she’s standing on, it switches between her left and right. Very convincing though! Looks like they even fooled the Herald Sun Online.
I think it’s a hoax, too. Or a bad algorithm.
When I’m looking right at her, I see her turning clockwise only, but when I’m looking at her with my peripheral vision (say I’m reading the comments), then she turns clockwise for just a second or so, then I see her turning counter-clockwise. It’s been pretty consistent. And it doesn’t seem to matter if, when I look away, I’m reading text or looking at another image, she switches after just a second or so. Very fun.
