IMO the follow button shouldn't even appear until you either manually enable it, or make your first profile post, on top of "follow" being a misleading verb without additional context to clarify that it relates to profile posts. Something like "<User> has made <x> profile posts. [Follow]", where just having that text adjacent suggests that, indeed, the two are linked, rather than the follow button applying to the profile as a whole.
^(Besides, real stalker mode is-- actually I don't want to give anyone ideas, but I'll say there are multiple old site features, and they *don't* count as part of the follower tally. They're *useful*, too, so I don't want to encourage a bunch of stalkers to misuse them and get them disabled)
There's nothing here!
