If each person knows around 300 people, friends-of-friends includes almost 100,000 people.
When you’re casting such a wide net, of course you’ll hear about rare events. (And the more unusual it is, the more likely you are to hear about it from friends.)
- ImprobableTruth 6y agoI'm pretty sure the average amount of friends is more like 15-20 than 300.
- nradov 6y agoIt depends on how you define friends. Several years ago the average Facebook user had over 300 "friends". Now they might not spend much time with most of that 300 but they at least see some posts. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/02/03/what-people-like-dislike-about-facebook/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/02/03/what-people...
