The "Following"

[okidoke]

So I've never really understood how "following" works. I follow a few people, but how does that benefit me? What does it achieve? How do I actually make use of it?

I have never found any use in it either.

If you go into your news feed, you can essentially stalk everyone you are following. It will show you literally everything they have done. That's it. It's just to stalk people. lol (at least as far as I've seen, anyway)

Yup, nothing of any use.
