Un-check by default "Follow this employer" when applying to job

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Annoying that when you apply to a job and on the last page before clicking Submit there's "Follow this employer".
As a result you "catch" all those follows and then later wonder why you have all these companies in your feed. Yes, LinkOff may remove them but still you become involuntary follower of a lot of companies this way.
Describe the solution you'd like
Have the box unchecked by default.
Additional context
I think this might be resolved by using the Unfollow all action after filtering your follows by type to companies only?
I can't argue with this kind of logic. Yes you can go to your followings, filter out, and unfollow. Do and remember many other things manually. Not easy. Only if there was a browser extension that could help you avoid all those unnecessary operations...
The unfollow action automatically unfollows people
Of course I can go and unfollow every time. That's not my point. Browser extensions are made to free user from doing unnecessary work tasks. That particular checkbox is an example of dark pattern. It is enabled by default and located on the left intentionally so user will click submit not expecting to check/uncheck anything else there.
