I am not sure I agree that they want active content. The fact
that 80% of your users say they did doesn't necessarily mean
anything.
You're really asking two questions. One is "would you like this
to happen?" The other is "would you go away if we failed to do
this?"
I could ask our users if they would like a free coffee and bagel
upon subscribing, and most of them would probably say yes, they
would like that very much. That doesn't mean that they'd be
disappointed if we don't do that. At this point, delivering active
content is somewhat less wise than delivering free coffee and donuts
to all users, so we will probably not do either. I doubt that we
will lose many readers.
