What is the purpose of having friends on sw?

So far I dont see why people can be added

To the core of it there's no real purpose of "adding" someone here other than displaying them as your friends on your profile. I mean adding someone as a friend here has no real privileges..you're correct actually
@QueenOfQuirk: and friends only albums.
@QueenOfQuirk: [c=#BF0080]Nah, they changed it.. even if you go to your friends list you'll see where it says that friends may see your posts more often.. or something along those lines.
Which I found this to be true. [/c]

Oh yes I just checked it, they're probably making the algorithms like Facebook now and soon we might see the kind of posts we heart more often

Well. I've added a few people because I relate to them and I regularly interact with them. Thus hopefully making way from friendships. Rome wasn't built in a day

@Dreammmer: why are you reading into this ?! Like I said it's a safety net of people I feel more than comfortable with.

@Gangstress: Im not reading into it, I just state how I understand your idea of safety net. You read my question and you reply even though Im not part of your safety net, which is ok. To me it means that you still read other posts and check if you want to reply and interact or not disregarding of them being part of your circle of friends.

@Dreammmer: of course. How else would you try and get to know someone
i've only just started adding more people than the one i had. though i'd feel rude or bothersome messaging any of them so i suppose i can't answer this, apologies lol.
[c=#BF0080]If you're friends with them they see your posts more often and vise versa.[/c]

@Pinkrainbowkisses: Ok, I have not observed that. Maybe my friends dont post that much. But then, if I am really interested I write with them and can check new posts of them whenever I like to.
[c=#BF0080]Well just telling you what sw said.. I've noticed it to be true.[/c]
none. if i want to make friends with someone here Id probably take it elsewhere like skype or fb

I guess I add the people I interact with the most

@glitterinyourface: what does it benefit you or them? do you have any benefits from adding?

@Dreammmer: if you add them you can see their questions more often on your feed, they're less likely to be lost in the main feed. It's upto you though, when I was on EP I'd never add anyone
I filter my feed so I see posts from just my friends, I can read these first before I read others. Also, only friends can PM me, everyone else goes into an others folder.

@Babylon: So you would never read a mail from me... guess that might be a benefit.
@Dreammmer: I may read them eventually. It filters out a lot of the nonsense
