Reformatted for better readability. Retagged.
I see a lot of ___common collector___ amplifiers with the output taken across an emitter resistor. What is the purpose of doing it this way instead of connecting your load directly to the emitter? I should mention that I am referring to an emitter follower biased by the collector output of a previous common emitter stage.

Removed pointless fluff.
Hello,I see a lot of ___common collector___ amplifiers with the output taken across an emitter resistor. What is the purpose of doing it this way instead of connecting your load directly to the emitter? I should mention that I am referring to an emitter follower biased by the collector output of a previous common emitter stage. Thanks.

- Hello,
I see a lot of ___common collector___ amplifiers with the output taken across an emitter resistor. What is the purpose of doing it this way instead of connecting your load directly to the emitter? Is it to limit the current gain? Thanks.

Purpose of emitter resistor in a common collector amplifier
