How long do you follow a question before you stop following it?

I think this is pretty self explanatory. . .

I still follow all questions I’ve asked. As for other questions, as long as the interest remains for me.

Long enough for them to reach the ground… or is that my legs? Huh? o_O

Until I get bored or when the responses become too inane.

If the questions are something that have long, interesting debates and are stimulating, I’ll follow those for a long time. I like to read people’s opinions and thoughts on a variety of different things.

If it was a simple query that needed a factual response and it was answered in the first 32 posts, it doesn’t do me much good to follow it since it has already been answered.

And sometimes, I’ll just neglect to clean out my ‘Activity For You’ section and questions will pile up in there excessively. I try not to let it get too out of hand though.

I rarely stop following questions. If it starts to get too ridiculous I’ll hit that little button, but out of the 2800+ questions I’ve answered, I’m guessing I stopped following anywhere from five to ten of them.
It’s a rare occurrence.

when people stop answering?

I almost NEVER stop following questions; only if they are definitively answered or become just a conversation that only two users are engaged in.

I can’t even get to the last page of the “Questions You’re Following” area!
This question has been asked before

@90s_kid I couldn’t find it on the first page when I searched, so I asked. Wanna give me a link to that?
