View submission: BETA: Weekly Round-Up and Newsletter | 2020-04-03
I kinda like the opt in, but only because it's this sub. I see your (as in subreddit, not yours in particular) posts usually when it's just an interesting and upvoted question, but before all the responses and always forget to check again. If you send a weekly digest it will become my main way of browsing the sub.
But in literally every other case I'd absolutely hate it to be opt out.

I absolutely hear ya', and do realize that even for a lot of users who *do* like this, we likely will be the exception. I can think of plenty of subreddits I subscribe to I'd *not* want this from, but I do think that a particular subset of subreddits which are built around user creation of content *in the comments* - rather than the submissions themselves - have real potential to make use of this, which is why we were willing to test it out.
Your feeling here is spot on for what we're hoping to achieve, namely to provide a better system for content delivery to users who like the stuff they read here, but don't browse the sub daily so often miss good content, or see it too early and forget to check back for an answer later. This may fall flat, we'll see, but that is the hope!
