What's the adventage/disadventage of having thousands of Fb friends?

[K]

There are people, mostly girls who add everybody who they saw once. There are even people, who join "add me" groups, or other groups, posting "add me". They have about 2000 "friends", some people even have 4000. Why not everybody is doing this, if posting gives you more attention, more information if you ask something, big marketing power if you want to buy or sell, or looking for work, more people if you host an event etc? Is it stupid to add only people who you really know well, and lose all these adventages?
