If you lose followers you are losing relevance (or the platform is).
Optimizing for followers is a generalist/popular approach, but specialization is what is valuable. So, I prefer attempting to design ways to connect users with the URLs they are looking for.

Interesting. Does it make sense to entirely remove the "Follow" button with a design like this? Or does it still serve a purpose on platforms designed for specialization?

Well, I would (and we have) certainly include a social graph into the design. It's how you deal with sybil/spam/noise inherently (WoT).
Whether to call it "follow" or connect or such matters less when you can also semantically tag your contacts as a another dimension for grouping a filtering URLs.
