View submission: Introducing r/popular
I think it's mostly meant to help retain new users. The filtered subreddits are often toxic or otherwise unwelcoming. /r/popular won't have that problem.
However, /r/popular will also be filtering out a lot of very, well, popular subreddits. Without that competition, remaining subreddits will reach the front page more easily.

Because r/politics is a safe, non partisan, non toxic political subreddit.
