decluttering

Is there a way to disable stars ratings number of views exif data? Why are comments now allowed on previously unallowed entries? Idem with stars ratings and exif data? I find it disturbing blip has changed the settings unilaterally on previous entries ie displaying exif data vieuws ratings and stars and possibility for comments on entries where all of this was disabled.

In general and as previously commented on seriously dislike the new 'look'.

Only considering staying for the community built up over the years.
