Why do people here say "Thanks for the follow!" on a user's wall?

It is kinda funny since a follow doesn't do anything but signify that you enjoy the other persons presence, so really you're thanking them for liking you

I always ask them

tell me something I don't already know about you on their walls

Unless the person's wall is private like mine lol.

but you don't follow selfie and thus you don't get a wall conversation

If I followed you then my wall would still be private (unless you're a staff member). "Can view my profile" is set to "Nobody" lol

your loss my friend lol
