    I wouldn't call them useless, any link is a path to your page, even if it doesn't pass the so called "link juice". From my experience you just have to be careful no to go overboard with nofollow links, there should be a balance between dofollow and nofollow links.
    As far as the search engine ranking goes, nofollow links might not mean much, but for generating traffic they might turn out to be extremely beneficial.

    No Follow” which is telling Google that the web master of that site has not created that link, and therefore it is ignored by Google and does not carry any SEO value.

    Yes, No Follow links are not useful, It's only for backlink counts.

    No follow is a link attribute that instructs the search engine spiders not to crawl a certain link. These links are usually helpful to redirect traffic to your domain and are helpful to build your online reputation.

    No, nofollow links helps in creating your link profile natural it's odd for a website that doesn't have any nofollow links.

    Actually, both DoFollow and NoFollow links are still important. It is just that almost every newbie or beginning SEO think that only DoFollow links are more important.
    But the truth is that both is considered by Google in ranking and having your site as either an authority or not.

    Nofollow links help only give traffic to websites, but it's not give backlink for a website.

    No follow links are useful too, if you generate links to your site from related website then no follow links can be also great.

    I don't think that no follow links are useless. I agreed they are not helpful in keyword ranking but they drive huge traffic to your site.

    No follow link helps you drive traffic your site but google does not pass link juice so not keyword ranking on google.

    The only difference between a dofollow and nofollow link is that the nofollow link tells Google not to associate the referring website with the referenced website. For that reason, generally speaking, nofollow links build no (or less) domain authority than their dofollow counterparts.
