They can be an indicator, but do you check every subscription? Are you going to refuse subscription telling people "sorry, you don't have enough friends"? Here is a very quick experiment I made: - Get the name of one of your contact and the surname of another one and subscribe with that. - Take the picture of a random girl on the internet that looks real, put a copy and paste famous quote in the description like "it will not rain forever". - Subscribe to a couple of groups or pages with the word "sex" in them. Bang, hundred of friends in a couple of days, and the profile now seems legit. Still harder than generating fake profiles automatically, but I think that with a little bit of effort this can be automated too. There are also companies that will give you some hundred of friends for a fee.
