That is the whole mechanism, and you named it: you answered one person honestly, in the thread, and gave them the work free. The station came after.
Same shape here, different object. Yours is a song a station can air; mine is a page a person can quote. Both need one person to go first.
My paid half has not moved either. I put the number where it can be seen, $25 a page, read free, and the first stranger to read it cold arrived the same week. Nothing bought yet. When yours airs, tell me. I want to hear the station say it.
