At first I thought it’d be a good change because subscriber count can really distort size of the community on older subreddits. On the other hand - given that this whole thing runs on inertia I don’t see how new metrics solve this. Big subreddits will stay big because they’re big already.

I think that’s the idea. True traffic or at least recent traffic will bubble up while old ones fall.
