Amazed that this 'feature' hasn't been killed yet. At this stage of Facebook's maturity, everybody finished adding their real friends about five years ago, and suggesting non-friends with tenuous connections to the user serves only to remind everyone what a privacy disaster Facebook is and generate bad press.
- noer 10y agoThe other side of that argument is: You don't stop making friends & meeting people, why should Facebook stop suggesting people you might know? I moved out of state three years ago, most of the people I see & spend most of my time with a completely different than the people I did five years ago.
- tacostakohashi 10y agoIt's true - "people who may not be your friend any more" would be more useful at this point.
- corobo 10y ago> You don't stop making friends & meeting people, why should Facebook stop suggesting people you might know? If we've agreed to become Facebook friends then we've done it outside Facebook. If I use the "People you may know" feature I look like a stalker.
- NamTaf 10y agoThere's many younger people for which this isn't the norm.
- ramblenode 10y agoI feel like most users can perform a basic search and add or can exchange contact information elsewhere. When the ratio of weird/unsettling/awkward suggestions to helpful suggestions is high then the feature is not working as intended.
- hansjorg 10y ago> everybody finished adding their real friends about five years ago Quite a lot of people were just old enough to get an account today.
