I'm just curious?

What's the point in following someone if you can't see ANY of their activity?

    There is no point.

    A couple of years ago, it made more sense. If you followed someone, and they followed you back, you could see each other's activity. But since Yahoo changed the format a year or so ago, if you allow ANY followers to see your activity, you have to allow ALL of them to see it. So, any Joe Schmo who decides to follow you can see your activity. I wish they would go back to the old way, it made a lot more sense.

    Just to hope someday they will allow followers to see their stuff . I've followed many users with their stuff blocked even though I followed them , but one of them unexpectedly open up their profiles to followers . So yeah , it's just a hope and so far only this particular user did so . I'm glad :)

    It's just stalking them

    Some users will have the option where followers can see their stuff and non followers can't

    I follow people to let them know I like 'em, not for the stalking bonuses
