How do watchers of 1000+ artists cope with the flood?

General
I'm watching a record 636 artists now. Every morning I see two hundred or more new posts. If I leave for a week, there will be well over a thousand pictures waiting for me!
I'm not even one of the biggest watchers here. I've seen profiles with well over a thousand artists on their watch list. Do they just nuke their submission page each day? Or do they spend every waking hour of their lives looking at furry art? The idly curious need to know!

On another note, here's a signal boost for one of the best and nicest artists on FA. She doesn't usually take commissions, but a broken monitor has provided squirrel lovers with a rare opportunity! Ami is taking commissions, so go get one!

I usually get a few hundred submissions a day. At the end of the day I usually check every thumbnail I want to look at and invert the selection to delete the rest. It doesn't take all day. Usually comes up to twenty or so pics a day.
I just open whichever thumbnails look promising, fav the ones I actually like, and then leave it like that
But then I don't really use FA all that much now. Just to contact some artists and look at stuff other people link on my discord server... I let other people curate art for me :p
I use a lot magic of dual screen, when I play EVE on main monitor and nothing is requiering my attention at the moment, I browse submissions on the other screen.
But yes, it's very time consuming, even more since I tend to save on my hard drive a huge amount of the one I like a lot (Too often I was unable to find back good arts I saw on FA, so now I save it to have it on my hard drive so I'm sure I can find it back)
