I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head how a thread creator being able to see who is subscribed to their thread being a violation in privacy. Would you be able to provide an example or elaborate more on that thought?

Personally, I think it'd open people up to reverse-stalking. There's probably a better term for that, but I see it something like being @'d just for browsing a thread and having someone question you or try to harass you into joining. I don't need people potentially DMing me or calling me out in a thread because I happen to be subscribed to it.


Also some people just like to keep things private and on the down low. It's why things like ghost mode exists. Heck, since we're on the topic of subscriptions, even Youtube has the option for someone to hide their subscriptions from everyone.
