Doesn't work. Simply because of nth order effects. This type of reductionist approach cannot be plugged-in by design. Simple solutions grow out of complicated ones following some evolution not the other way around. The proof is they kept moving the number upwards.

This could be mitigated by just having people you don't interact with often in some meaningful way (for some definition of meaningful), they just get automatically unfriended. As if you had forgotten about them.

There's not hard cut _per se_, just that after the 150th, if both people don't interact, the relationship fades away...
