New Feature on Kickstarter: Follow Creators

Have you seen the new Follow Creators option on Kickstarter? It's really cool. With a single click you can follow all the creators of projects you've backed. A bit overwhelming for me as I've backed over 1,500 creators. Now I can see what new projects they are running and what they are backing. And a number of them are following me back and even backing projects I've backed. :D

The only downside is having to go through the long list and unfollowing the few who were scammers or sent shoddy product or have gone "black" never shipping or updating. LOL

Has anyone else used it? What do you think?

I'm using it.
Nowhere the same number of backings as you, but even at my level I thought follow all was too much.
I wound up following about 25% of my creators who I thought were interesting enough for a continual follow.
The page that lets you see all backings of all creators you follow is nice.
If there was a way to shut off the email or limit to once a week/every other week, might follow more.
Still like to discover in various categories on my own, but it can be a time saver when I'm in a hurry.
