I'm on the other side of the fence with read receipts. There are times I don't care if someone replies, I just want to know if they got the message so I don't feel the need to call. I also don't feel the need to send those "ok" or "got it" messages to just affirm that I received the message, because the read receipt takes care of it.
That being said, it cuts both ways. At work, if I read a message asking for something, and they know I got it, I feel more pressure to drop what I'm doing to take care of it, or at least let them know where it's at on my priority list. Turning off the read receipt means I can't view others, so I leave them on. The app does have a "peak" feature to read the message without showing it as read, which is very useful... especially if I happen to be checking it after work hours.
i would add turning off read-receipts if possible in your message apps, as well as online notifications, and last seen
