Old ratings system ?

Is it possible to revert back to the previous ratings system ?

The new one seems largely oversimplified. The previous system allowed to view the breakdown by demographics: Age, Gender.

While it could be seen as discriminatory, it did in fact provide valuable information as to the target demographic of a show or movie. I.e., some shows were (are) rated significantly higher by men, or by teenagers...

It was a good indication as to the likelihood that a show or movie could be for you, or not.

The new system completely obfuscates that.

There was also a US vs non-US voters and in some cases, it was also giving some hints ; for instance there were some foreign movies that were very highly rated (most likely too much...) by non-US voters, while completely downvoted by US-voters.
