NETfrix Shorts: Why is Dunbar the loneliest number?

Dunbar's Number is a well-known concept which states that the number of social ties a person has is about 150. But... when Dunbar, the famous researcher who came up with this thesis, promoted this idea on his many interviews lately, people's reaction was of disbelief. 150 sounded to them as an inflated number. If it is true, where are all these friends? So who's right - Dunbar or the talkbackers? To help expand the SNA and Network Science community, NETfrix needs your ratings!
