Hi Karan
profile backlinks from high authority sites are always safe.
but be sure to check their spam score before taking backlinks from them.

Yes, they’re safe and they’re great foundation links for building up your brand. I always start with these when building my backlink profile.

Safe, but their effectiveness is debatable.

I dare to say they're not THAT safe and lean towards blackhat in my book. Even if everyone uses them. Risk is minimized by using them in moderation.

Agree with this. Consider this - Why would regular users add a link of some other person's site into their profile? Hence, they are not natural links that a website would get over time.

Having said that, some links in moderation are good for diversity and maybe a bit of link juice.

What do you mean by "other person's site"?
You make a profile for yourself, and you add your website URL. What's unnatural about that? I did it years before knowing about SEO...

That's true. You might create a few profile links for your personal blog or website. If a site has 100 profile links then it is questionable - at least to me it doesn't sound natural. I would much rather play safe and create only few profile links for diversity.
