Frankly, I found the message in my mailbox to be particularly upsetting.
All mailing lists (or digests, whatever) should be **strictly** opt-in. I personally consider spammy and invasive every website that automatically subscribes me to a mailing list upon registration -- no matter how easy it is to unsubscribe. Why should this be different for subreddits?
I have enjoyed reading r/AskHistorians for years, and I am glad it is usually held to a higher standard compared to the rest of Reddit. I am a lurker who rarely comments, but I really cannot stomach this. Is possible to provide feedback directly to the admins about this?

We'll be doing an in-depth write-up that summarizes the the feedback we get, as well as sharing our survey data with them. And again, as we're the *only* subreddit testing this currently, they will be paying attention here too.
