I saw about that on fandom_wank(well, technically it's fandom_lounge). From what I understand, that interest thing was a glitch while trying to get rid of some of the other accounts. It's just on their popular lists, it's not banning the "interests" themselves (do people actually use interests? Is this for the adbots? I don't want the adbots finding me anyway!)
They got rid of random things like fanfiction and faeries, but not slash or other similar. It's very arbitrary and silly. I can believe a glitch rather than the conspiracy some are espousing.
However, I do find the basic account loss very annoying and a poor business decision. Not surprising mind you, but stupid.
