1:20 into the video

it's actually a video from a few years ago.. but surprised they would admit that

:1orglaugh

It must be higher than that. I know people who have multiple accounts for their business profile, their education profile, and then one for family and friends. This is your average user with 2-4 profiles.

Then, you have people who make artificial networks with thousands of fake profiles.

What would you guess the actual number of fake profiles are? I'd wager 1/4.

Helps them to be able to claim more users though, not sure that they would want to eliminate fakes too badly.

yeah i'm surprised they estimated it so low

The whole internet is full of impersonators as well know:)

Smokey were are you living these days?

Mr. Romance

must be a lot more than 1.5 million now.

Doesnt seem like that is even 5 %

They purge huge amounts of accounts over time but I know it to be closer to 40-50%.
You need to appreciate that there are auto captcha solving programs being used with millions of email accounts and proxies, making 10 thousand accounts an hour, or atleast they were doing that and they have not had phone verification for ever, it's half and dropping. :2 cents:

probably way more than 1.5 million
