Spotify jumped on the trend.Ĭampaigns like this turn Spotify into pop culture and make its target audience want to join in on the music-streaming fun. In 2018, for a not so brief moment, it was an auditory illusion: in the brief audio recording, 53% of over 500,000 people answered on a Twitter poll that they heard a man saying the word "Laurel", while 47% reported hearing a voice saying the name "Yanny". What is your target audience talking about? What is the most hyped up topic at the moment? COVID-19 vaccination? Dune the movie? Vegan meat? Politics? Rock-n-Roll?
