Direct DC coupled Emitter follower for compression?

Hello all, first timer here. My question is:
Will a direct DC coupled Emitter follower create compression, just like a cathode follower would in a tube amp?

Not from my understanding though it could saturate I suppose.
Though it could be used in part of an envelope followers with an opamp.
