Thanks for your thoughts, and very insightful all around. The 'pointless and ineffective' is something we definitely have thought about a lot, as I'm sure you can appreciate the issue with getting the information to people about it in the first place, which I discussed a bit more here[1].
It is something we've been spitballing in the backroom for what feedback to send to the Admins, as I think that total Opt-In would undercut the entire purpose to a degree that it isn't worth it, but at the very least it *really* just needs a "Click this to Unsubscribe" button in the message as opposed to the 'block user' way they do it now.
What I think might be the right balance would be one message that goes out to *everyone* with an *Opt In* link if you would want to continue to receive them. I think that is the closest you could get to finding an actual balance with the limited options available, since it ensures everyone knows it is an option, but requires no further action, so puts the onus on those who *want* it to take positive action for it beyond that.
I also agree that finding the right balance of frequency is absolutely key to success, although personally I do feel a week is in the right spot, although for your subreddit, given what you are envisioning, definitely would be too often. In any case, we'll see what the survey says.
There's nothing here!
