** The site removed another popular feature in March 2023, that being the ability to break down a movie's user rating by demographic (age group, gender). Long-time users were not happy about this change, since it was one of the major advantages that IMDb continued to have over its competitors, such as Letterboxd.

* CommonKnowledge: While it's gotten better over the years with quality control, inaccurate information added by users who didn't bother to do the proper research is still a bit of a problem, especially since it's considered so authoritative. The main issues are flatly-wrong Trivia items, and people deciding that extras and bit-part performers are actually well-known people based solely on a slight resemblance (like Creator/MegRyan, a high school student in Connecticut at the time, allegedly being in a library scene in ''Film/SomewhereInTime'' that was shot in Chicago, when the young woman in question has her back to the camera anyway).

** For a time starting in December 2017, company pages were only accessible to Pro users. While non-Pro users can once again view company pages, they've changed their format from before. Now, they only list if the company worked on a production, but don't list their specific role (such as "post-production facilities"). To view that, you have to click into the entry and then into the companies sub-page. Also, they're sorted by Popularity by default, which is not very helpful; if you want to view by alphabetical or by newest to oldest, it's an extra step.
