  Hi,
  
  If you mean this button:

  

  Subscribe to Blogs

  in WordPress.com Support

  4 min read

  When you subscribe to a blog on WordPress.com, you can follow along with that blog’s posts via email and the Reader. This guide will show you how to add a blog to your subscriptions. Subscribe to a Blog on WordPress.com To keep up with a WordPress.com-hosted blog via Reader and email notifications, take the following steps: Visit the homepage of the website you wish to follow. Click

  it can not be removed.

  Please note that regular visitors of your site won’t see this button as this button only shows up when someone visits your site while logged into their WordPress.com account (as this button is meant for other WordPress.com users to follow your blog through the reader or email)

  Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with this, don’t hesitate to let us know!

  It can’t be true that the only way to remove this is to get a refund on my WordPress.com subscription within the refund window, and move to WordPress.org, can it???
