Who is telling people not to watch Star Trek?
You mean like what happened to every Star Trek show ever?
Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

I think you need to fix your quotes.
Anyway...
This was what I was questioning how they got this data.
And since this article is from 2017, and only focuses on CBS showing the first episode of DSC free on network tv, I fail to see how this is any kind of proof of anything.

Wait... The spinoff of Discovery season 2 happened because people hated Discovery? That's not how any of this works.
That's aside from the absurdity of saying a show that ran for five seasons and spawned seven related series (counting Short Treks and Scouts) was somehow a failure. None of those other series would have existed if the first one had been unpopular.
Yeah, contrary to what some Trek fans seem to think, no one creates a spinoff to a show as a reaction to the fact that people hated that show. If a show really were hated and considered a failure, it would have been cancelled during its first season and that would be it.

The logic loops these people have twisted themselves in over the last decade has been nothing short of impressive.
It's nothing that hasn't been trotted out predictably about every new interpretation of Star Trek since 1973, and particularly since the Internet came along. (Before '73, fans just hated on TOS's third season.)
I'm sure they'll get a movie made eventually.
...and?
And it won't be made by Akiva Goldsman or involve characters getting turned into puppets.
There'll be plenty of other reasons to miss SNW beyond those two.
Characters being turned into puppets is why shows shouldn't go back to 26-episode seasons (too much garbage serving as filler).
But they still did it even with 10 episode seasons. I don't know what the minimum number of episodes is to avoid bad ideas, but it's probably a lot less than 10.
What they really need is a producer with the sense and authority to say "What? No this isn't Angel or Legends of Tomorrow, we're not doing that."
People had similar criticisms and a determination to hate the musical episode long before it came out too. Discourse around it is now largely pretty warm outside of the mostly people still offended by the concept of it who refuse to watch it.
Strange New Puppets could turn out the same way and end up quite well received beyond huffy folks who hate anything fun or different.
It just seems pretty absurd to me to hate an episode that hasn't come out yet.

What if there was an episode where it turns out that Spock's been secretly spying on the Federation for the Romulans all this time.
What if there was an episode where the entire cast gets turned into talking dogs.
What if there was an episode where Pike literally cooks and eats Number One.
There's got to be some concept that you'd realise was a bad idea for an episode just by reading it.
We can go to 25-episode seasons if it means never doing that again.
