The number of followers is only a small part; the most important thing is that the content you post is relevant to your page's audience to generate engagement.

right connections matter more than just big follower count. a smaller network people who actually care about your topic can bring better engagement.
Followers might look good on paper, but it was really the connections that open doors. In my opinion 200 followers who knows what u were doing is way better than a million quiet followers.

I have comes across posts that have been read by individuals who were not in the follower list because of interaction with the correct audience. Figures does not count if the individuals in ur network under stand the topic.

They’re all important, as they can help improve the reach of your posts. However, for a professional profile, people tend to place more emphasis on followers.

I think both have their own value. Followers are good for building your overall audience, while connections can be more useful when you want to actually talk to people and build relationships. So it really depends on what you want from LinkedIn.
