IMDb User Ratings Page Redesign

@Michelle, Employe 😀

IMDb can get ratings locations from Users' IP Address ??
This does Not have Age or Sex etc. info
  
Sample

Bottom of page:

I discovered this feture not long ago and thought how cool is that. And now its gone. Make it an additional subsection to your redesign. And where is the dislike button here? 

Why where the ratings by age and sex removed?  I relied on those to indicate if something was likely to be suitable for me.  The rating for an older male might be significantly different from younger and female.

Not happy with the lose of age/sex ratings.  The overall rating is less useful than ratings tailored to your sex and age.

Age and Top 1000 voter statistics are not available in the new votes page.

Please add these statistics to the page. By the way new Country based statistics are amazing, but old ones were necessary too, especially the Top 1000 voters.

I found the older vote page much better! When I visited imdb to decide which movie I want to watch, mostli the votes of the top 1000 and age and gender was very helpfull for me..! The redisigned page is defenitly much worser/bader..!!! Bring please at least the votes of the top 1000 back..! I think the last few chances were above all in amazons interests.

I used to check the top 1000 voters' rate as one of the main factors to decide whether I watch a title. It was usually very helpful and that measure was very close to my taste. However, recently I can't find it anywhere on the website. I want to know if I can still access that information on the website. And if it has been removed, I can't underestand why but I want to know of any possible alternative. 

well, I am sure this (if remains) will affect your audience negatively to the point that could be the beginning of the end of IMDB. Especially the removal of the top 1000 voters feature. Please note that only seeing an average rating is not interesting for many of us to decide if we are going to watch a title. The opinion of those who have been watching the most titles is important. This is somehow an expert opinion that I belive is more reliable than critics who may have been paid to rate or review a title. That has been one unique charactristics of your rating system. Therefore, not only it is essential to bring that feature back, it would be also smart to share the ratings for top 1000 voters by genres as well. 

Same thing could be said for demographic data with less impact. Obviously, age is relevant in our taste for movies way more than the country of viewers. Gender is also more relavant. If you are about to decide to watch a title, which factor is more important? opinion of the people who are in the same age as you or people from France? 

I learned from the comments and your answers that there is difficulty in detectig real top 1000 voters (or exact demographic data). Well, Improve your algorithms to do so. It is quite possible. Choosing the easy way to remove it and replace it with the simple country-based classification is like those lasy works from students who try to fool the teacher but in-fact they are the one who loose the oportunity to improve and will fail evantually. Sorry for the (maybe) harsh tone, but I belive it is the bitter truth that is needed to be mentioned. All it takes is one smart compatitor who use suitable data analysis algorithm to put an end to IMDB.

I hope you return the data at least for top 1000 voters or replace it with any other system that reflects the opinion of those who have seen more titles. People who are somehow unknown kind experts who help us decide while we don't need to be worried about their possible biased opinions because they have been paid to do so. 

Despite viewers being unwilling to share demographic data obviously many have. I'm fine with a less than complete sample. It has been my go-to reference for years. Don't see why you can't still include it.

There's not much to add that hasn't already been said but just wanted to contribute to the disappointment of removing the top 1000 voters statistic plus the other rating demographics. You're reason for removing the top 1000 stat is supposedly because you cant be sure that all of those voters are legit voters or people who are trying to manipulate the ratings.. But let me make a point, the percentage of voters in the top 1,000 voters who would be "untrustworthy" or trying to "manipulate" the ratings would be low, so much lower than the general voters.. For example, I use IMDb literally everyday, I have 10,400+ ratings, and last time I checked, my ratings did not effect the "top 1000" statistic for any page, so I am NOT a top 1000 voter. Therefore it takes A LOT of ratings to be in the top 1000 (more than 10,400). If a top 1000 voter is rating for manipulation purposes only (rating everything a 1/10 or 10/10) and are not actually watching any of the movies they rate, they would have had to go out of their way to rate thousands of titles without seeing them, they would even have to rate films they've never even heard of to make it into the top 1000 voters.. It wouldn't make sense and its highly unlikely to me that any of the top 1000 voters are truly unreliable. I just do not see many people taking the time to do that. Of course some of those voters might be untrustworthy, but like i said, the percentage of those people would be very low, much lower than the general voter rating.. Because the top 1,000 voters statistic acted as a filter to eliminate the general vote. Do you see my point here?.. The general vote is still bombarded with people who hand out only 10/10 and 1/10. The top 1000 stat, especially for mainstream movies, was always more balanced in my opinion. These statistics and demographics that someone decided to get rid of, were essential to the point of this site. They gave us a unique look into the ratings. What other site gives us those insights? I don't think there is one. So IMDb had the advantage of giving us insights that no one else could. Maybe the people at the top should consider that. Please, if you are able to bring it back one day, do so, because it only turns people off not having access to this information.

Some time ago you could click the weighted average rating to get to a page where the ratings where broken down to demographic numbers. Now that will take you to a page with breakdowns by countries (???) Why, that doesnt really tell us anything. Could we please have the demographic breakdown back again? Or is it because you are not allowed to ask the viewers who wants to rate about their sex and age anymore? In that case, please, some kind of consent formula should be possible, I guess.

I created an account just to comment on this thread. Please bring back the Top 1000 voters ratings, what were you thinking.

More than 20 years visiting this site and this is the thanks that we get.

In the old UI, under "User Rating", there was a section with the average rating of the top 1000 voters, and there was a very benefitial table of the ages and genders of the voters divided into groups with their respective average.

Where is all that? Now it is only a filter for top countries averages, which hardly useful!

 The exact number of users behind an IMDB rating of a film was available until recently,  but now only in kilos (number of thousands). Is the exact number to be found anywhere?

I can no longer view ratings by age group
