I will want to enable auto-subscribing by default. However, I know that I won't want to be subscribed to some discussions. For example, there are voting-type discussions that could produce 100+ notifications (example), but once I've cast my own vote, I don't need to be notified about other people voting.
Current approach: Post comment, get auto-subscribed, (remember to) click the [unsubscribe] button.
Envisioned approach: Open the advanced 'drawer' and uncheck a "Subscribe to this discussion" button, the same way that I would uncheck the "Watch this page" button.
