Beware, one of the unwritten laws of HN is that any post containing anything vaguely reminiscent of reddit gets downvoted. Upvoted in order to pre-empt the inevitable downvote.

Thanks! I wasn't attempting to bring something reddit-esq to HN, I simply enjoy learning new tidbits everyday on HN!

Would you consider an unsubscribe page that used javascript to automatically make a PUT/POST unsubscribe call on pageload bad practice then?

The google-bots wouldn't affect it since they don't run javascript
