It should very much so be opt-in. I don’t like the idea that a subreddit knows my account exists simply because I’m subbed. It also opens up questions of privacy. Not that this applies to me, but if someone has their personal information available on their profile and they are subbed to an NSFW sub, a moderator could access the subscriber list and would have easy blackmail. It just feels like an invasion of privacy to me.

True, and all I need to do to stop hearing the guy with megaphone outside my house is to close the window. I still wish he'd stop broadcasting though, him and the rest - otherwise one day it might take more than just a closed window to block out the sound.
