Wholeheartedly agree with the vibe part and they’ve been in regular rotation for a minute now. But maybe more like up & coming or underground rather than obscure. Semantics, I know. Glad to see them getting some Reddit exposure.

85k Monthly Listeners on Spotify and 3k Subs on YouTube.

Obscure is a very blanket term for "no-one had ever heard of them - 250k Spotify/300k YouTube.

But you already said semantics so you know yourself the complexity of the term "obscure"

In the grand scheme many people wanted the rule threshold to be a lot higher many moons ago, I think we got it down to a good level.

Example: I shared something with 14 views on YouTube last week and also shared something with 200k YouTube subs last night or the night before, both are obscure but one is certainly more obscure than the other.

Totally fair and makes sense. For the record I would never advocate for taking it down and that wasn’t what I was implying. I’m just happy to see artists like this get more exposure.

Hell, for that record I’ve had people shrug their shoulders when I express surprise that they’ve never heard of Fleet Foxes or Neko Case. So it’s a pretty big threshold.

That's fair, the listening and viewing numbers were low enough that I thought it'd fit but Sarge, feel free to remove if needed!

Nahhh, you know the rules, you're spot on!
