(1) Effective today, Bittrex will be removing orders that are older than 28 days.
(2) Within the next 2 weeks, the minimum allowable trade value for orders will go from 50,000 Satoshi to 100,000 Satoshi.
(3) Within the next 2 weeks we will be instituting minimum tick sizes ...  The target is to have minimum trade sizes that are near 0.1% of the current price. The current minimum tick size is 1 Satoshi.

All of these changes should reduce the total load of the Bittrex trading engine. This implies
that the user experience for the remaining users will be much better after they are done with these measures.

The only people that really should be upset about these changes are the guys who made lots of really small trades.
Otherwise I think these changes are beneficial for every Bittrex user.

Additionally, the order books should look a lot cleaner in the future. An orderbook where every order is 1 satoshi above the next
order is simply too cluttered. Therefore I think instituting minimum tick sizes is a very reasonable change.
