Agreed. While I enjoy reading this subreddit more than most, I’d prefer this feature to be strictly opt-in.
Part of the appeal of Reddit is that you can customize it and engage with it on your own terms when and where you want to. If I’m in the mood for an engaging deep dive on an interesting historical question one free afternoon, I can just come here on a whim and sort by best, or top of this week.
Once this (and presumably several other subreddits) gain this weekly digest ability, Reddit will start to clog your notifications with “top stories” and “content we think you’ll like” like those other apps that constantly try to foist their services onto you to get their engagement numbers up.
There's nothing here!
