I have several accounts that I set up for research purposes with close to 5000 friends each, mostly 17-25. All friends became inactive in the last 4 years.

- toomanybeersies 11y agoIt could be that the people who accept friend requests from randoms with 5000 friends aren't very strongly attached to the service in the first place, and aren't the core market or the bread and butter of FB.
- cft 11y agoNo, no- these are the users of our app, when they added these accounts they knew the accounts were associated with our company.
- hkmurakami 11y agoThat sounds like you sent random friend requests to strangers (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'd expect that there would be some correlation between users who would accept a friend request from a stranger and the likelihood that they would go inactive.
- morgante 11y agoSo you're basing a pretty huge assertion on a tiny and non-random sample?
