Scammers use bots to scan them. They can't when it is private.

But not everyone knows that I'm a fairly experienced trader and I didn't know that

People with valuables don't want to have random people looking at them.

And last but not least, because they can.

[Spawn of Totoro]

Because they want to. In all honesty, they don't need a reason beyond that.

You're not entitled to viewing other's stuff.

Would it be okay if i come to your house and go through your things? No? Why not ?

[Fear dot Com]

Because I want people to love me for who I am, not what I have :D.

Its only a matter of respecting everyones needs to tailor their profile and inventory included in order to feel safe and secure, not violated by those who seek to invade their privacy.

[pasa]

Is that a serious question? A real one should be why people public it.

You can't really use that as a comparison

Like I'm not trying to be rude I just don't understand why

For me it is because I would never trade.

I only unpacked my inventory stuff a couple of months ago - I had stuff sitting there for years that you can unpack or something - open them up to reveal other things.

I don't take part in the community aspects of Steam: Friends, Chat, Trade, Inventories, Gems, Steam Rank, etc, etc.

Having a private inventory means nobody is going to pester me.

I had a private profile for years and people wanted me to unprivate my profile. I would keep a private profile if it allowed other users to see I was a long-standing member of Steam - which is the reason I used my badge as my Avatar thing. I only unprivate my profile so that people can genuninely see I have been on Steam for 13 years - because my forum posts only go back a few years.

That's interesting like I have made some of my best friends on steam but I can sort of understand what you mean

Some people still think I am fake though because I only have 4 badges in 13 years - I have had people think I stole this account, etc.
EDIT:
Or they might have said I bought it - I can't remember.
