Why don't you let us see who is following us... I really wanna know the people following me and I don't understand why we can't?
This has been discussed endlessly, trust me. Some of the reasons why following is anonymous: just like you maybe want to ask your crush a question anonymously, you would also only follow them if it was anonymous. Another reason is that if you knew your followers, you probably would have a god idea who is asking you questions, and that would ruin the anonymous questions. People always want to know their own followers, but do want to be anonymous following others!
Also, remember followers don't get any more access to your profile than anybody else, since profiles are public. It basically is just like bookmarking your profile to more easily read your answers. Maybe it's like people who follow a blog, the author also doesn't know the regular readers.
