I'm keep getting auto-subscribed to a comment even though I have auto-subscribed turned off

I'm now sure of it. My profile has auto-subscribed turned off, but yet since yesterday four new subscriptions showed up that I didn't have yesterday. It seemed to happen overnight though. Note though I do have daily digest checked in my profile. I don't know if that is causing it or not. But having a daily digest (which actually I have not yet seen anything sent to me so I don't what it shows) shouldn't be causing an auto-subscribe.

Thanks,
Rich

So none of these are checked in your profile settings?

  • Questions I view
  • All questions matching my favorite tags
  • All questions

Correct, none of those are checked:

This is what it looks like: (I just noticed that "A new question matching my favorite tags is posted" is turned on, which I need to turn off (even though I don't have any favorite tags). But that shouldn't cause auto-subscribe)

It seems like there is an implicit subscription option of "Subscribe on first reply to a question". Because it is still happening. I answer a question and I get subscribed. If I then unsubscribe to that question and put out another answer to it I am at least not subscribed again.

This is very annoying. Once a week I have to go through and clean out my subscriptions because it keeps subscribing on what appears to be the first update from me to a question.

@griffisp can you check to see if there are any bugs with auto-subscribe?

Did this ever get resolved?
