The news may not make you happy, it however did make OP happy. That right there is enough to spread happiness.

I think you and others are missing my point here.
I’m genuinely glad OP found joy in this. We all need more moments of that in our lives right now.
My point is that for a sub called uplifting News, the expectation is that just about anybody who isn’t a sociopath should be able to read the title and feel that same joy. The fact that OP had to explain in detail how this connected to their life and how that brought them joy, something that is specific to their lived experience, means this is simply in the wrong sub.
I read the title and thought “ok, a company is making money selling a product”. Like it isn’t even really news is it? It’s just a focus piece on how this company is profiting off of pandemic effects and some musicians. Which again, that’s fine, but it isn’t uplifting news. An infinite number of posts could be made for every company that makes anything that anybody has any positive connection to or memory of. Seriously. We can each find some obscure product tied to a warm and fuzzy memory and make a post about it couldn’t we? That’s just life.
Post like this just water down these subs.

And you just pointed out you missed my point. This was uplifting to OP, so OP wanted to share that happiness. Others in other threads have shown that it brought a smile to them as well. So it is uplifting news. Think of it as a nightly news fluff piece.

Well, I don’t think we are going to see eye to eye on this. We clearly have a difference of opinion about what constitutes a valid post on this sub.
I do agree though, it is fluff.
