More Obscure does more!

The algorithm is not plainly random. It factors in how many times people have clicked more obscure for a particular artist!

tldr; When you click More Obscure, the song won't play again for you. The entire artist will play less for everyone.



Ah, so it sounds like 'More Obscure' means 'Make this artist more obscure in the playlist'? I interpreted it as 'drill down into even more obscure, less known, less listened-to artists'.


me too, the term is a bit ambiguous
