Does Unsubscribe go both ways? (Facebook)

Okay, I used to be a Facebook expert, but this one has me baffled. I have a lot of Facebook friends, and I had hidden/unsubscribed from many over the years. I’ve decided that there’s no point having “friends” that I never knew that well, didn’t talk to much, probably won’t talk to again, and have no facebook relationship with. And so I unhid everybody a few days ago. The plan was that if I saw someone I don’t need to be friends with, I would just unfriend him/her rather than hiding them again. Make sense?

Well, this project is under way, but now many of the people that had been hidden are commenting on my things who didn’t used to. This leads me to believe they just started seeing my posts again. When I unsubscribed, did that remove my posts from their News Feeds as well? If so, it hope it was just a bug before! We should be able to hide people and still be able to show off our things!

No, this isn’t an invitation to express your views on whether or not I should unfriend people. Sorry for being snarky, but irrelevant answers drive me nuts.

Thanks!
