Why can I not decide which emails to receive regarding PRs?

When I get added as a reviewer to a PR, Bitbucket automatically makes me watch the PR and consequently receive an email for everything, which leads to hundreds of emails a day that I don't want and that probably will never get read. Most of my colleagues have a filter active to delete them all immediately.

However, I would like to see when somethings happens on MY pull requests or if someone mentions me or replies to a comment that I posted.

The in-app notification drawer can differentiate better (it only shows me when I have been added as a reviewer or when someone comments or approves my PRs).

As far as I can see, there is no way to limit the emails in that way or at least remove the "you automatically watch every PR you get added to".

Please prove me wrong or tell me where I can complain to try and get this changed. I can only imagine how many Bitbucket emails get deleted without being read. What a waste of resources...
