Can you subscribe to an obscured taxon?

I’m pretty sure subscriptions are supposed to work for any observation that is publicly indexed in that place regardless of geoprivacy, so all these obscured observations would show up for a subscription to Ontario.
However, the fact that you say the taxon this person subscribed to is obscured suggests to me that it’s probably at the species level and Carrie recently pointed out a bug with taxon/place subscriptions that may be relevant here:

It turns out that place/taxon notifications are configured to send notifications of observations descended from the selected taxon but not at the selected taxon. It has likely been this way for several years, without detection.
