View submission: Announcing Online Presence Indicators
Who cares? I'm not sure what stops you from telling anyone who asks you about your online presence to fuck off either way. Use it, don't use it, it literally matters to no one.

Who cares?
Well clearly I do ¯\(°_o)/¯
And clearly many other people care looking at the comments here and comment scores. What you are trying to say here is that you specifically don't care and think that is the only valid way to look at it.
There are multiple reasons to care about this, I have included some and others in this same comment section have provided multiple reasons as well.
In addition to this there is also the fact that if you truly want an answer to your question you have to look at the bigger context of how reddit approaches development of their platform. On its own and on the surface this is indeed a relative benign feature but as I already mentioned it seems to be driven by a drive for generic engagement as many new features over the past few years which isn't necessarily good for long term health of many communities on reddit.
