A comment on I Quit Social Media for a Year. Parent comment
The monkeysphere is "how many people you can comprehend as people with their own full lives", and is on the order of 150-300.
"Critically important" in your life is a far higher bar, so 10 to 20 makes sense.
"Playing field" is a far lower bar where only the relevant metric matters, which widens the range to a far larger number of people.
