If you subscribe to someone on facebook for friend requests, does it actually work?

I know there are a lot of photos going around facebook with comments saying this:
Who Wants 2OOO+ Friend Requests .

1. SUBSCRIBE ME ---> (uploader's name here)
2. LIKE THIS COMMENT WHEN DONE.
3. Watch Your Friend Requests Blow Up c;

My question is: does your friend requests actually blow up? And, how do these photos get so many likes?

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
They can do this so that you might see a product..hopefully make money off of you because you make a stupid purchase. People are desprate, and feel that the more facebook friends they have the more popular they are..

not at all.
