The point of chatter is just to see what others are talking about. Maybe there's a story that you wouldn't click on, because it doesn't look interesting to you. However, conversations meander in all sorts of ways, so maybe there's an interesting conversation on an otherwise uninteresting story. Or, maybe there's a conversation going on in a story that's not in your feed. You might find it there. Chatter helps users to find such conversations without having to browse everything. Obviously it doesn't work as efficiently as I had hoped.
