I noticed that all shops require the requesters to be subscribed to the shop. I think that it's pretty fair (especially when the shop doesn't charge you anything) and quite convenient for the owners since they'd not need to notify their requesters personally about the completed request. Some requesters have their profile on lock y'know. What I don't understand is why the shop owners demand for the requesters to be subscribed permanently, forever and ever. I mean, why? The requesters have no business left with the shop after their requests are done and if they do pay for the service, then what's the point of getting them eternally subscribed? The new story updates alert is annoying, I tell you, when it comes from the shop we no longer have anything to do with. Like, are we supposed to keep up with the other requests or what?

So shop owners, what are the reasons? Is it because you want the shop to build up an image of being a good shop? Or do you just like looking at the high number of subscribers? Or is it simply because you see everyone doing it and you just don't want to break the chain? Also, have you ever though of the inconvenience it might cause the former-requesters?
