Can this "feature" be removed or deactivated somehow? I guess not because that would be too convenient.

Hah I guess with channels, you can at least choose not to subscribe to any. Not the case for stories, which are always shown whether you want it or not. I've resorted to manually muting stories from most of my contacts.

That is true and I have also muted a ton of my less-than-friend-level contacts in regards to stories. But that nag screen to subscribe to channels seems so terribly gauche.
