If you select an obscure artist in spotify, the group of people that listen to those might have a few more obscure artists in common. That has worked for me a few times where I go down a rabbit hole of some pretty obscure stuff that is all connected somehow. I have a few things I discovered this way that didn't have more than a few hundred listens.

But you are right that none of this stuff is perfect.

But you have to select an obscure artist first. Hence why the music attention economy is winner-takes-all these days.
