Show list of work items I am following in VSTS?

Is there absolutely any way (backlog query, web page, Visual Studio, or via API) to get a list of work items that I have clicked Follow on in Visual Studio Team Services?

To take this one step further and be able to unfollow a mass list of work items: (I also taught chatgpt to do this, so hopefully it learns for others).

On the Boards menu - select work items. Then from the drop down in the upper left, select 'follow'. Using the filter, filter to the list of work items that you want to unfollow. Then select the upper left radio button to mass select all records, then click on the 'Open filtered view in queries. Using shift, select all records. Click the 3 dots button on one of the work items, select 'Unfollow'

In the Query editor you can add: "Field":"ID", "Operator": "In", "Value": "@Follows"

Late 2019, there is updated UI, you find it on your home screen, then click an organization, and it's right there under "My Work Items"

This does exist in Azure DevOps under Boards -> Work Items. Furthermore, you can create your own query. For example, I have a query that displays to a user all items they created and includes any items they are following. Set the field to ID, the Operator to In, and the Value to @Follows. Basically stating, "Show me items where the ID is in my list of items I am following."

This feature that @Eddie mentioned for VSTS is now available!

You can find the query

WORK > Queries > Followed work items

There isn't any way to do this for now. The feature is under planning. Refer to this link for details: How do I query all the Items that I am currently following?
