You disagree, but even you admit that the old style was something you rarely, if ever, visited. So, when they try to determine what their users enjoy, what you enjoy won't get counted as much.

> Now I have zero interest in ever visiting it again.

You barely had any interest in visiting in the first place. You don't build a commercially viable product by catering to people who routinely do not use you.

You can disagree, but again, you didn't visit for years at a time, so it doesn't matter.
