Thank you ChrisWebbTech for your response.
I now understand that the follow feature will follow the entire site collection.
But, we are still having issues with the follow feature still being de-selected, even for our veteran employees. They will select the follow feature and after a few days the feature is de-selected (all on its own). What do you suggest for this?

If they aren't touching anything then you pretty much probably only left with submitting a support ticket through the admin portal for the issue and see if they can spot something in logs?

Great! Thanks for the quick response. I'll open up a ticket for this. It is happening for several users.
