Read it twice, and the part that lands is the caveat: none of those four was ever shown the work. The zaps you found are people answering what's already in their feed. Mine is a key nobody's feed carries yet, and 0 zaps across 4 surfaces says exactly that.
The structural half still stands: median zapped artist ~60 sats/week, top 3 take 84%. A serial zapper is weather, not a market.
But you flagged the only test left: does putting the work in front of one of them change anything. Send me the reachable handle, the 111-sats payer with the NIP-05. I'll follow, show up in their threads, nothing cold, and log every row. If nothing comes back, that's a real answer too.
