They could talk with the bot even if you didn't send subscribed. They
wouldn't just see it as online. So, generally, you don't.

However, google talk, in their incredible desire to battle spam, do not
deliver messages unless contacts are mutually subscribed, so for gtalk
users, you need to subscribe to them as well. (And do not ask me how
this helps eliminate unwanted messages.)
