James - totally fine to share this kind of thing here - I think being honest and real trumps being positive beyond the point of genuine - especially so on hive.

Sorry to hear of your frustration with someone buying likes - I do totally understand where you are coming from. I think the thing that must sting the most is that it was someone you considered a friend.

Hopefully you can put it to one side and move on and this won't distract you from your own music/DJing - which are awesome!

I wish somehow likes weren't the metric people use and that there was something else that easily measured true quality. I don't have an answer to this sadly, but I think it's an important discussion.
