Parsing and making sense of this sentence with multiple が's


So I was signing up for an account at a website, and I came across this line:

> 写真があった方があなたがどんな人なのかわかるし、フレンドも作りやすくなります。

I have never come across a sentence with 3 が's in it, much less one with 3 of
them placed consecutively like that. How do you even make heads or tails of
this!?

By the second が, the sentence had already lost me... If が marks the subject of
a sentence, what on earth is going on in this sentence?

**Questions:**

  * How would you parse this sentence?
  * Is there a less confusing / better way of phrasing it?




> 「[写真]{しゃしん}があった[方]{ほう}があなたがどんな[人]{ひと}なのかわかるし、フレンドも[作]{つく}りやすくなります。」

is a perfectly normal sentence with a fairly simple sentence structure.

> It says "Condition A will bring Result #1 and Result #2".

Condition A:「写真があった方が」

Result #1:「あなたがどんな人なのかわかる」

Result #2:「フレンドも作りやすくなる。」

In 「写真があった方が」, 「方」 is used to compare (implicitly) two situations.

Situation 1: 「写真が **ある** 」

Situation 2: 「写真が **ない** 」

It is saying that Situation 1 is "better", "recommended more", etc. (than
Situation 2). = **_"If there existed a photo, ~~" ⇒ "If you pasted a photo,
~~"_**

「あなたがどんな人なのかわかる」 = **_"(Others) will get to know you (better)."_**

「フレンドも作りやすくなる。」 = **_"It will be easier (for you) to make friends."_**

> Is there a less confusing / better way of phrasing it?

As I stated at the beginning, the sentence is very simple and it could not be
made any simpler. It is already "good", too.

The kind of sentence that you would better understand (even though I have no
idea what it would be like) would probably not be a very natural sentence for
the native speakers.
