Explanation
On GitHub.com, subscribing to notifications for all activity in a repository (i.e., 'watching' the repository) is how a user opts into ongoing updates for all events - issues, PRs, discussions, releases, etc. Automatically watching repositories you have push access to is a configurable default, not a deliberate subscription choice. Upgrading accounts does not affect notification subscriptions. Customizing notification types refines existing subscriptions rather than initiating them.
