That's nice for people (like you, apparently) who don't have a problem with the direction reddit chose with their website and app, but for those who enjoyed old.reddit and Apollo it's too bad.
This whole situation reminds me of a policy that happens around my city where they turn industrial areas into residential ones by renting out the old factory buildings for cheap to artists and once the neighbourhood is made popular (by these artists) rent goes up enormously (pricing out the artists) and yuppies move in.
Reddit is now kicking out the people that made it.
