Meh, if only this subreddit did it, for me it would be perfect. I’m just hoping other subs don’t get the same idea.
The reason why I feel this will work for this subreddit is because some of the time I stumble upon a question that doesn’t have great responses, and this is a great way to remember to go back and look at threads once they’ve gotten good responses.

At the moment, we're the only one with the ability! But certainly I expect what subreddit does this greatly impacts the view of it. I'll be sure to include this in our feedback for the Admins.

So then it should be opt-in, yes? So that you can pick which subreddits you get it from?

It would’t even work / it would be incredibly redundant for the majority of the other subs to attempt an option like this, I think.
I believe this is the perfect sub to implement something like this. I always forget it exists because it rarely appears on my front page and I’m sure I’m missing a lot of great questions and answers. And I gotta say I’m very surprised by the majority of the responses. How do you feel “personally attacked” if a subreddit sends an automated message to all its subscribers? Maybe I’m desensitized because I’m subbed to r/SkincareAddiction and they send messages regarding mod posts and so forth, but still - the panic is out of place? I’m open to reasonable explanations about it, of course.
On one hand I wanna say - if the biggest grievance is the fact that it’s opt-out instead of opt-in, make it opt-in. On the other, if a simple click to block or unsubscribe from the messages makes you wanna instantly unsub from one of the best moderated, no-spam, no-circlejerk, no-bullshit subbreddits, then don’t let the door hit you on your way out.
P.S. thank you to the moderators and historians for their thorough and FREE work/contributions.
