Right, but I'm not sure if the distinction is always that clear. Having a negative opinion about him because "he hasn't done anything" can also easily color your perception of Svbtle itself (insert link to Wikipedia page about some psychology principle here).

And I might be wrong, but I thought that the publicity was due in big part to the Svbtle vs Obtvse controversy. If he got all that coverage just by being Dustin Curtis then I guess I'm even more impressed with him…
