yeah, a relevant audience usually matters more than a big follower count. smaller accounts can get better engagement because their content reaches people who actually care about the topic, not just passive followers.

Networking is better IMO because you can get more collaborations on different projects if you know other people are a good match based on their skills. Also if you are an authority in a sector you can attract more buyers if they know you well enough, than just having plain followers on your account.

I think connections are useful for staying in touch with people. Followers can help more people see your posts. Both can be useful, depending on how you use LinkedIn.
