is there any actual benefits to “following” authors on the Envato Marketplaces?.. does it inform you if/when the authors add new items to their portfolio? is it a way to find those authors more easily? or is it just a way to support the author?.... any info on this would be great!
if none of these are the case, maybe we can work on some benefits to following people on here, and make the Envato experience a little better….

That would take the whole “oh god, I have 999 followers but I only know 9 of them!” feeling away 
ive been stuck on 2 followers for the longest time too…. i wonder what the people with 100+ followers did to get that many. maybe it has to do with how long you have been active on this site.

I didn’t even know of the Followers thing. I just sorta ignored it.
