    S3RL isn’t hurting from TickTock views. Boi has been deep in the raves for the last like 30 years. He’s a legend in his own right.

      I know, but seeing the Nightcore uploads that are just lazy speed and pitch up edits of his early works like Pika girl, that get 30m views and his own OG upload is 3m makes me as an wannabe artist sad

        Yeah but you have to aggregate all of his views, plus album sales, and concert ticket sales, to get a true picture. He has artists on his payroll who do his vocals. Hes doing well. I pump him everyday through his channels. There are smaller artists out there getting fucked, S3RL isn’t one of them. Shit, he started with Pretty Rave Girl just about, and thats a remix of a Basshunter song.

        Those have been going since the early or mid 10’s though.
