Log scale may be better to show changes since 2008, and we can’t discern if they’re right because we don’t know which brought in viewers

Sorry, comletely unrelated to the graph, but is there a particular reason why the american age rating system is so needlessly complicated? Over here we literally just use the age number and a blurb that explains why it got that rating.

This is off the top of my head.

G, PG, PG-13, and R were historically used in movies. PG-13 is the 'newest' (supposedly created to make Spielberg/studios happy so younger audiences could go to more violent movies).

The TV ratings were brought in in the 90's, IIRC. I recall Tipper Gore (the Vice President at the time) advocated for labeling for music. This might've extended to tv. It didn't really change anything, afaik, though now I assume parents can limit content based on them with more control over streaming.

The history of film censorship goes back to the Hays Code in the US.

This doesn't show what your title implies you want it to show. It doesn't have any monetary aspect. It shows they have always made more Mature and TV-14 rated content, and that this gap widened 2016-2019 before closing in again (I'm wondering if Covid affected whether they made more family/teenage friendly content actually), but not how this correlates to viewership, audience reception, membership growth, etc. It also doesn't show how any effect of the maturity ratings on platform popularity is separated from general growth of streaming services in this time amongst adults or kids, or how it compares to other platforms' approaches.

Idk what I can learn from it. What do you think is the answer to the question you pose in your title?
