Comment (by dd32):

 > We use the same system to feed subscription to regular forums (as
 opposed to specific words). Those emails have never stopped working even
 though they also include a subscribe link.

 The difference, I believe, is that forums have a confirmation click on the
 actual unsub page, rather than profiles (which I implemented earlier)
 which simply disables immediately.

 I believe @ocean90 is on the money here, and is what I had suspected was
 happening - I had setup the same notifications on my email account to see
 if it affected just that account or others too, and it seems to confirm
 what I expected, that it's not a problem for others.

 I'll see about updating the Notifications unsub flow to have a click-to-
 confirm flow like forums, while still supporting the Google unsub flow
 (which is instant, and happens in the background when someone uses the
 "unsubscribe" button in the google UI)
