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 use LinkedIn primarily for work, so for me, followers are more important than connections. Having a large number of followers helps increase the reach of my content and boosts the credibility of my profile.

big follower numbers look nice but real engagement is what matters more.smaller network people who actually care about your niche can bring much better interaction.

The quality of the network matters more than just the numbers. Relevant connections can lead to better engagement , conversion ,and opportunities while a large follower count do not always mean much if the audience is not interested in your content

Having right networking is indeed more important than just having big numbers, however i believe having right/ valuable content and posts is much important than both ( having more followers or networks).
