Hi Jeff, that’s a completely fair question.

Here are some potential use cases:

1. Intranet: An employee wants to watch the posts of their manager or a key influencer in their organization; a manager wants to watch the posts of a new hire as they get onboarded into the organization

2. Community: A member of the community wants to watch the posts of a speaker/influencer/leader of the community (perhaps an employee of the hosting organization)

3. Moderation: A moderator wants to watch the posts of a potentially troublesome community member
