The redesign that's currently in beta seems to mostly be driven by the desire to embed more ads. Instead of just one ad at the top of the page, there's new several spread throughout the feed, very similar to Twitter's promoted tweets.

I'm just waiting for them to add auto-play muted videos to the feed so they can charge those higher video CPMs.
