How can I know if someone is following me?
I know that you can either friend or follow someone else profile. But, how can I know if someone is following me or not?
Thank you for the answer :hunkofcheese:

It is safe to say that you can't tell who exactly is following you at the moment.

OK. No problem. I am just wondering about that cause social media like Twitter and Facebook will allow us to know who is following you. So, I didn't find the section on my profile or somewhere knowing someone.
Thanks for the answer.

You can check how many people are following you by going to CONTENT, then click on guides, and theres a large digit that represents how many people are following you

Nah I don't think you can and steam shouldn't implement it.Following can be used to track scammers

There very much can be a point to it, because sometimes some "undesirable" person follows you and the internet justice brigade jumps to the conclusion that if "Brad the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Fratboy" is following you, then you must be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fratboy yourself.

I disagree. You should be able to know who is following you. You should also be able to block people from following you.

No other program that I know of, has the follow feature without knowing who is following you.

I am pretty sure facebook dose not show followers

On any case it depends also on what it dose, Steam follow puts your public shared activety on there feed, like when you upload a public screenshot, or workshop item

They can just open your screenshots and see the same stuff

Why will you want to know who is following you? and if there been a bother you can just block them

Blocking wouldn't work the person can still see ur stuff only communication will be blocked but again.Why don't u want ppl to follow u

100% pointless cause all they get is notification of comments on your profile. if you have some issue with this you can make your profile friends only and they see nothing.

Not really, to get "notification of comments on your profile" they need to sub to your comments (above the comments area)
That is not one of the things follow dose

Yes, it does. If you've allowed people to follow you, you can see a list of your followers by going to your profile, clicking Friends below your cover photo and then clicking Followers. If you don't have any followers, you won't see this option.

Also, I can even see my random followers on ebay.

So I think that you should be either able to see who is following you, or have the option to not have anyone follow you.

I, for one, find it very disconcerting that I have way more followers than friends, which are family only.

Maybe it's good that you can't. Less care about unimportant information, + privacy.
