Ngl I wouldn't say it ruined his life, but it definitely made it harder for him to quit and live a quieter life with his band that he works with now.

[@XXXTENTACIONTHEGOAT]

Nah. It definitely ruined his life & music career. 1 song with 1billion streams & other songs of his can barely even reach 1 million, bro can release a album & nobody will listen. You wont build a fanbase from just 1 song😭😭💀

[@mustangg_art]

@@XXXTENTACIONTHEGOAT ngl thats one of my fears. id rather not get famous at all then get famous for ONE thing and completely fall off after that.

[@txkyoaes5743]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@XXXTENTACIONTHEGOAT bro he’s not a rapper or a pop artist his career doesn’t revolve around topping the charts especially since he makes alternative music and he literally had a fan base before that 1 song, the girl featured was part of it nigga. 😭😭

[@thecluckster3908]

@@XXXTENTACIONTHEGOAT his life is normal now, he’s in a band and is chilling. Wouldn’t called that ruined.

[@ZaeOSWS]

@@thecluckster3908 probably ruined his first intentions with his career, but dude is seriously chilling now

[@harpxwx]

"is it just a hobby" its called a passion. thats like if someone said his job streaming was just a hobby. he loves doing it, and he doesn't need the money. not everyone is tryna hit a certain money goal in their lifetime.

[@alohatigers1199]

We live in a capitalism society. Of course money is important

[@youknow-vy1pe]

@@alohatigers1199 Then you'd know even as a one hit wonder. Gotye has it made.

[@baaaammmbbssss]

@@alohatigers1199 Most true artists will take a struggling art career versus a corporate job that would pay them millions. As much as money is important, passion, creativity, and artistic fulfillment are priceless.

[@Treeforest347]

@@baaaammmbbsssswhich is why AI was made to take all that away and slowly push people back into those jobs 🤓. yayy i luv ✨ 💖 capitalism ✨ 💖 sm!!

[@harpxwx]

@@alohatigers1199 once you have enough to be comfortable you should be fine. a normal person doesn't want millions and millions because that doesn't fulfill you. i bet gotye is way more fulfilled right now as a person than he would be if he had 10s of millions of dollars. (though he is already loaded)

[@baaaammmbbssss]

Love artists like this. Everyone sees art as something to consume or make money off of. But like any other job, when your passion is drained by superficial things it can really feel like the very thing you love and would do for free is slipping right out your hands. It's more than a hobby, it's your creative self.

[@thecluckster3908]

I wouldn’t say it ruined his life as he seems to be doing fine now and never really wanted it to be successful.

[@weakscars]

He did say he was disappointed with the amount of views his other songs received, it seems as if he wanted to be famous. Pretty confusing guy..

[@thecluckster3908]

@@weakscars he was probably disappointed because they didn’t listen to his music for him but instead they just listened because they thought the song was catchy. It was less of “oh man this isn’t getting as many views” and more of “oh they only like that song and not my other stuff”

[@starlxrd868]

he is still around in band called The Basics

[@youngrootv]

Not gonna lie, Somebody I Used to Know is one of the greatest of all time bops

[@spirit.1999]

I feel like 60% of people didnt even try listening to his other music.

[@theylovemyaesthetic]

me lol

[@abyss488]

Funny that Dontai was so confused how Gotye didn’t want money or fam for his music as someone who also doesn’t make music for money or fame

[@NiaSamoane]

Still love Somebody That I Used to Know 🔥🔥 since my childhood days I never got tired of that song😭

[@thecorruptedcat989]

At all I was like 18

[@kingaxxidnt2484]

NOW YOU JUS SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW 😢

[@slah.]

eyes wide open >

[@aloveletter902]

Right ? Still hits to this day 😩😆

[@mr.shyguy66]

This kinda reminds me of Kurt Cobain and how he felt about Smells Like Teen Spirit, and how nowadays its very overplayed

[@consoledollz1688]

When they said he didn’t monetize the video I literally screamed. I understand artistic integrity but that’s just bad business lol I guess he made all he felt he needed to make to be comfortable but that was passive income that could’ve funded more projects

[@iZly]

i understand how amazing of a person you have to be to never want ads on your videos and "never want to synch my music for products," but dawg. $10 MILLION.

[@kingaxxidnt2484]

Such a humble artist

[@lesliej.5612]

Most of Belgian artists are humble

[@kingaxxidnt2484]

@@lesliej.5612 that's very respectable 🔥

[@MandatoryFruit]

Gotye is such a good artist dude. I listen to Hearts A Mess practically on repeat. It really does suck that Somebody That I Used To Know is all he gets any attention for.

[@applesadam8050]

8:55 To be fair, that's how it's usually spelled in bri'ish english

[@jabisu4162]

it is THE correct spelling in i believe, every english speaking country except america

[@kingaxxidnt2484]

2011 😢 man MILLIONS AND MILLIONS that song was beautiful and brilliant timeless banger

[@jeremiahhaywood4794]

The biggest surprise is seeing him get it handed an award by prince, and he still didn’t want the fame

[@seeksolace2059]

If you haven't listened to smoke and mirrors by him then you really just listen to popular music. Listen to that whole album pls 😂

[@CSaenz44]

shoutout gotye hope hes well

[@bpg5881]

Couldn't say enough great things about gotye I grew up and went to school in the same town as him(town in Melbourne Victoria) me and my school mates would get to talk to him at a Cafe after school and he was an extremely humble bloke ❤

[@Eddycut]

[@bpg5881]

​@@Eddycuttrust me bro

[@Eddycut]

@@bpg5881 no

[@EntrEsprit]

I just listened to his album like a week ago, and it's actually a good album all-around, but you can clearly hear it's not aimed for a massive audience, so it's not the case like with other artists who tried their ass off to create another highly successful bop yet they failed at that

[@itsarethaa]

gotye just disappeared bro😭

[@laptv2144]

It’s so funny that his live chat can’t figure out why someone would do something if not for money or fame. They truly don’t understand doing something for the sake of it alone

[@timmy5876]

anyone else not like watching these kinda vids cus by the end whenever u hear the song u remember the negative outcomes of the song😭

[@dariajames6200]

Gotye was born the same day as Jeffrey Dahmer and Notorius BIG

[@yeweston1411]

Ngl it’s crazy Dontai and y’all can’t fathom making music as a hobby, and wanting to share it with ppl who might feel it.. instead of just doing it for “fame” or money

[@ImStillDontai.]

Dawg, I do music for a hobby…but it’s also not my main source of income. My confusion was what he does for money then, because it was never said. Relax 💀

[@ShigarakiTheBestNewGen]

It's called getting a regular job h heard of that before right​@@ImStillDontai.

[@alex_lp6910]

I remember listening to his first album and there was some songs that deserved to be known...

[@Yodelii]

This guy is the embodiment of overthinking

[@MrCook-dz6gj]

Really just listened to this song because Imdontai 😂

[@Pete_R]

It's nuts it's got 2.2 BILLION Views

[@Intr0vertical]

Dontai that is how you spell apologise lmao the fuck

[@solomonfowler-evans2268]

“he didnt do it for money and he didnt do it for fame… was it just hobby?” imdontai discovers that people dont just make music for commercial success

[@mr_0n10n5]

I'm really not sad Gotye didn't drop an album, but I wish he did Also, that song came out 12 years ago. 2010-2016 music man...

Wow the title is actually perfect

ImDOntai?

This man had more success off of this one record then most artists will see in their whole careers, leave this man alone and let him enjoy life Post hit

[@Kountdraqo]

10 mil? I wouldve took dat respectfully

[@NOBLEPAIGEPATRICK]

fans treat the artist like robots

[@rexraptor.]

Didn't ruin his life it made him rich asf and he chose not to capitalize off that

[@Mezteq]

What’s the eats looking like chat?

[@El_Tony_C]

Nah, he definitely did a deal with the devil just for one song😅

[@tgaming4360]

Wow he really became Someone that he used to know… 😂

[@msweeedo]

i love seeing an American completely bamboozled by the idea of a human being creating something for a reason that isn't money or fame :')

9:00 they spelled it the UK way

bro please just lowercase the o cuz if you did you can spell so many titles right
