Technically the thing about this that makes it a paradox is that if you were to ask your friend who their friends are, and ask those friends who their friends are, and ask those friends who their friends are, basically you end up canceling out the fact that the person you asked beforehand will always be less popular.

In the real case, there exist super-famous people and it's very likely that either A) you are one of their friends or B) you're not but they befriended most of your friends. In either case, the average number of your 'friend's friend' per friend is increased by slightly less than 1 under the influence of them. If in a more equal distribution this effect could be offset a lot.

So, I once made a chart of all my friends and all their friends and we linked how we knew different groups and my husband and I were one of the three big nexus points. So, uh, hi, nice to meet you, I'm one of the people skewing the average. I should note that I know one person with definitively more friends than me.

A similar "paradox" is about the number of siblings and number of children. You probably had many high school classmates with two (or more) siblings, while it's much more rare among your parents' friends and coworkers to have three (or more) children.

My problem with the friendship paradox is that many idiots explain it as "literally every one of your friends have more friends than you" which is an actual paradox.
I'm that guy. I have like 20 good friends most of which only have 5 good friends. It leads to many situations where they consider me a better friend than vice versa, which is sad because I'd love to be that friend for them, but I can't. But well that's life.
@shona93 It's a fallacy to think that just because I have many friends I don't have good ones. I still have extremely close friends just like everyone.
From 2014 to 2020, I cared about popularity. In 2017, I began caring less about popularity but by 2018, that went away. This craze for popularity began due to my want to be different than in the past. I wanted to make progress. The harsh reality was real soon after I made the decision to become popular. For years, I acted like my family (they cared about popularity. They were jerks and short tempered). It was not until 2020 when the pandemic hit that I finally was hit with the harsh reality of myself and my actions. I want you all to learn this, popularity doesn't matter. Be yourself. Don't try to be popular. Believe me, trying to be popular tarnished my self image. If you are unpopular, be proud of it! Be yourself. Have a blessed day!
This paradox is more of a conjecture than an ironclad result, it's simply the observation that there are people in social networks that are very well-connected (e.g. people with many friends). The average person is NOT well-connected, but is likely friends with (at least) one well-connected person, who has many more friends than any of your other friends. The same phenomenon occurs in several other areas of network theory, which is what makes the behavior of real-world networks paradoxical. Many models of network creation result in networks that do not exhibit this property, but it was observed so often in real-world data that we became convinced that it was not coincidence. This is the most famous and most common property of real-world networks, that connections do not form "at random," but rather follow some process that we do not fully understand.
This has also been proposed as a method to distribute vaccines. You ask someone to name a friend, and then you go and vaccinate that friend, since on average the mentioned friend is has more connections and is a higher spreading risk. For instance, if you randomly pick between Jeff and Elon, both would mention Bill. Asking Bill would randomly vaccinate Jeff or Elon, so it's not perfect, but on average you protect more people with fewer vaccines by getting all the highly-connected people covered.
You are not always funny, nor do I always understand your humor, but you always supply an interesting topic with enough data that I find your videos very informational. Keep it up!
Actually there's something that breaks that paradox Your friends are friends to you It basically means you have more friends than your friends your friends and your friends have more friends than you at the exact same time
Lowkey being lonely can be soothing sometimes. I have too many friends and i don’t wanna be selfish sounding but It CAN be distracting and bothering school/regular work when they spam text me. But if you really want friends just be yourself and they will come to you with time :)
But wouldn't that statement be a paradox itself, like "The grass is always greener on the other side?" If your friends are always more popular than you, and that went for your friends as well, it would be a never ending cycle of increasing popularity, much like if the age-old statement I mentioned earlier was actually true in one case, that would create a paradox, too!
In actuality no. In the simple example you can see that Bill has more friends than his friends. So there's at least one person that's always the most popular one. But the thing is, that this circumstance applies to the large majority of people and you can make this assumption with a low risk like how when you write a horoscope with oversimplified occurencies which encompass most daily experiences.
Basically, your friends average friend count is probably higher than yours. Not the same as most of your friends have more friends than you; each friend either has more or fewer. The second statement removes the weighted average but is probably what most people (myself included) interpret the first statement to mean.

it‘s not talking about a specific friend but the average of all the friends
You can't be less popular than your friends if you don't have any.
But every set has an empty set as a subset. So an empty set (aka no friends) may be the most popular.
So if my friends are more popular than me, I am also more popular than my friend
