I think it should give you the option when creating an account. Explain what it means to get followers right there, because many people don't understand.
Unless you're going to post to your profile (or live stream), there isn't anything to follow. So, if users know that going in and don't plan on doing anything like that, they can decide to turn it off.

Agreed there, it's such a niche use case for Reddit and really doesn't need to be enabled by default.
