I think the decline can be mainly attributed to the writing. Look at the recent Flux story arc. What was the best part? The Weeping Angels. Why? Steven Moffat wrote those bits. What was the last really good, engaging episode before that? Twice Upon A Time. Why? Steven Moffat wrote that one, too.

I've been watching Who since the 70's and never did I ever have such a hard time keeping up with a story line as I did with the flux - it had a great premise but holy crap - was like weaving in and out of traffic.
There have been some good episodes and I truly watch in case one of the writers actually did have a bright idea. Jodie is a great actress but never given a clear shot at doing the job as the Doctor with the writers - and if the people guessing who the next Doctor is as being a gay black man - like wtf? What do we care? It's none of our business what someone does in their bedroom - just come up with a great story line please - visit other planets - other monsters and stop trying to assimilate us into a history of the world's ethics or social studies.
Ratings have to account for something - they tried reaching out to special interest groups and it failed - this is a family show - a sci-fi show - let it be that... and the ratings will be back. Doesn't matter what color or sex the Doctor is - just stop preaching to us and treat it as a sci-fi show please.
