For : here is a short, practical checklist to determine whether a profile link is treated as a regular (i.e., followable) HTML link or is being explicitly marked so search engines should not pass value.

Open the profile page in your browser and use the developer tools (Inspect Element) so you see the DOM after any JavaScript runs. Find the anchor for the profile link and check its rel attribute. A plain anchor with no rel looks like this:

<a href="</a>

If the link includes rel="nofollow" (or rel="ugc" / rel="sponsored"), it signals to engines not to treat it the same as a standard followable link:

<a href="" rel="nofollow">Profile</a>

Also check for page-level directives: a meta name="robots" content="nofollow" tag on the page or an X-Robots-Tag HTTP header will affect all links on that page. Verify the link is visible to anonymous users (try an incognito window) because links behind logins or injected only for certain user agents may not be followed by crawlers.

For bulk checks or repeated testing use a crawler or a browser extension that highlights rel attributes so you do not have to inspect each link manually. Remember that the attribute is only one factor — placement, topical relevance, and whether the page can drive real user traffic matter more for practical value. As suggested, don’t make decisions based on a single metric alone; treat the rel attribute as a quick technical check, not the full SEO story.

Who cares about pagerank? It's useless. Get quality links from relevant webpages that your users would be interested in. Also, I am one of those people who thinks that links that are nofollowed carry just as much weight as links that aren't nofollowed. Call me crazy :)
