To Enable Or Not Follow
On LinkedIn, in settings Visibility of your LinkedIn activity “Make Follow Primary” means:
[When people visit your profile, the Follow button will show as the main action instead of Connect.
So instead of users seeing Connect right away, they see Follow.
What this does on LinkedIn
- It positions your profile as a creator / public figure / professional brand
- People are encouraged to follow your content rather than send connection requests
- Users can still connect with you, but they’ll need to click More → Connect
Why people turn this on
- You share content regularly and want to grow an audience
- You want more followers instead of random connection requests
- You're positioning yourself for thought-leadership or brand visibility
Why people leave it off
- You prefer to build a network of direct connections
- You’re using LinkedIn primarily for relationship building or job searching
- You want connecting to be easy and visible
Quick summary
[Inference] Turning this on = you look more like a creator / public business profile than a network-focused individual.
