What is the point of “following” someone in mylot?

As far as I can see, following someone here in mylot does nothing except for informing the user that it has been followed. It is the same as if I do not follow that user. But then what is the point of clicking the “follow” button if it has no effect whatsoever?

Following is used for not to miss a single discussion from your favourite ones.

So you can see the discussions of your favorite members. It is hard to find people you enjoy here.

You are able to follow their topics and that you will be able to respond to it.

I think the purpose of following someone is to know their newly posted discussions each day.
