I’ve never really “given up” on any Trek show—I’ll watch pretty much anything with Trek in the title—but the turbolift scene in Discovery was the last straw.
Have you ever given up on a Trek series? If so, what was the last straw for you?

I know we don't agree about Discovery but, as far as Andromeda? I watched the first half of the first season in 2000 and that was it. Too much jumping around (literally) and action scenes on a low budget. I heard the show got sillier in subsequent seasons and never went back. The concept was there, not so much the execution.
That having been said, the biggest takeaway I got from it is something positive. I could see the Federation eventually becoming something like the Commonwealth, if it ever went from interstellar to intergalactic.

I gave up Discovery and because of this topic was trying to pinpoint exactly when. I gave up for many reasons, but I seem to recall a big trigger being they did "Forget Me Not" which I thought was a well executed story, rather sweet. Then almost immediately one of them starts coming back as visions. And I remember thinking LEAVE. IT. BE. Tell a good story, move on. But they can't.
Also I hated Booker taking up so much time when not main cast, and other things... I hated all the flight suit time shenanigans red devil whatever stuff. I stopped I think with The Sanctuary.
Sorry if this is a bit vague or a bit wrong, as it has been a while since i gave up.

Book became part of the main cast in the third season. I'm only going to make that one factual correction.
ANDROMEDA did get worse over time (not quite the nosedive of EARTH: FINAL CONFLICT, but certainly a close comparison). Even if you went with only the first half of ANDROMEDA's first season, it's still a much better series than DISCO. And those 11 episodes had more good ones than the entirety of DISCO.
Yeah, no. Andromeda was complete shit. I enjoyed watching DISCO.
Andromeda had some pretty good episodes, at least in the beginning, but I did find DISCO to be the better show overall, especially once RHW left the former and it became "The Kevin Sorbo Hour".
TBF I lost track of it at some point myself, but from what I've heard, that was probably for the best.

I gave up on VOY because of the reset button.
ENT because it didn't feel like a Trek prequel.
DISC because we didn't like the characters, they where so irritating especially Burnham.
lower decks because it isn't my kind of humor

Stopped watching ENT after season 2 but picked it back up again for season 4. Didn’t watch any of season 3 other than ‘Azati Prime.’
Also stopped watching DSC after season 3 and have no intention of watching the rest.
Haven’t seen the newest season of SNW yet. My interest in that show has waned considerably.
