I agree, but that is beautiful right? The choice is in user’s hand if they want to interact with content or not. If they don’t want to read the content from that publisher in future they can simply do that, rather than getting three drip mails in 2 week intervals on why I haven’t read emails sent to me by them.

Since you mention choice, then this is just an option rather than a replacement. If it's a replacement then it takes away the option to interact with content (such as commenting).
