What drives a person to collect 3000+ "friends" on Facebook?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37398points) September 14th, 2011

I have some friends on Facebook who collect friends. I have one who’s a political activist and has over 2000 “friends,” but his posts are limited to political punditry. He uses it as a tool.

I have another friend who collects porn stars. That doesn’t sound too bad.

Today, I noticed that one friend had added someone I thought looked familiar. I clicked on the picture to find that this stranger lives in Turkey and has over 3000 friends, and she’s barely 20 years old.

Why would someone want 3000 friends on FB? What’s the attraction? What’s the reasoning? WTF?
