Are the Star Trek Discovery cancellation rumors true?

It won't matter though. People will still buy into the conspiracy theory and suggest one move that goes against TEH CANNON!!!!!!1one!!!!111!!! will sink Discovery.
It was already cancelled two and a half years ago. Every episode we believe we have seen to date has been a product of a shared hallucination. Just like TFF and the Voyager episode "Threshold". 
Negativity seems to permeate the internet. I play an online spaceship sim game called Elite: Dangerous (I don't know how many people here are aware of it), and also participate in the forum for the game. Every week or so, for the past three years that I've been playing, a thread comes along about how the game is dead, nobody is playing any more, often with dubious steam charts. No matter what the game's regulars, or developers ever say, the doomsayers are persistent. Some are likely trolls, others those who want the devs to change features in favour of their preferred gamestyle. The important thing is, they are all, generally, taking crap. Anybody defending something they disagree with is a Frontier Developments plant or an apologist, or deluded.
I see some very similar attitudes crop up about anything that has a rich history with an established fanbase: Star Trek, Star Wars, Elite (of which ED is the fourth Elite game).

If it doesn't go 7 season and 178 episodes, then it would be a completely failure and proof that all Trek fans everywhere hated it.
I read it was downgraded to "limited series".
Sir Patrick has said that they are hoping for more than one season.
While Variety has reported that, through TrekMovie, Stewart suggests they are hoping for multiple seasons.
Edit: ninja'd by @XCV330 !
Wild speculation from attention-seeking Youtubers does not even merit the status of "rumor."
Kor

Well, in that case the only successful Trek series was TNG.
- TOS - 3 seasons, 79 episodes (FAIL!)
- TAS - 2 seasons, 22 episodes (FAIL!)
- TNG - 7 seasons, 178 episodes
- DS9 - 7 seasons, 176 episodes (FAIL!)
- VOY - 7 seasons, 172 episodes (FAIL!)
- ENT - 4 seasons, 98 episodes (FAIL!)
"People outside of this website" include all the people who don't ever watch Star Trek of any kind, so that's really not saying very much at all.
Then there will be posts like
"clearly by renewing this series they are sending a false flag that the show is doing well in order to attract teh Investors! and I know because i am a hollywood exec or something"
I never went there until today. They're selecting from a pool of people that are still watching and paying for the show after over a season and they have a funky rating system where it uses emoticons instead of numbers. What about the people that gave up on the show already?
Other rating systems with a large number of votes like imbd give it "7.4/10 - 59,042 votes". The youtube posting of the season 2 opener (best episode of season 2 so far in my opinion) gives 5k thumbs up and 3.3k thumbs down, that's 56% thumbs up.
And it will all be litigated in a secret underground court in Los Angeles where everything is under seal. Third on the docket! I heard all about this court when Star Trek Beyond started production. Sounds fascinating.
And TOTALLY legit!
Except, even that was a FAIL because the remaster didn't sell enough copies of the Blu-ray setWell, in that case the only successful Trek series was TNG.
Just sayin'.
- TOS - 3 seasons, 79 episodes (FAIL!)
- TAS - 2 seasons, 22 episodes (FAIL!)
- TNG - 7 seasons, 178 episodes
- DS9 - 7 seasons, 176 episodes (FAIL!)
- VOY - 7 seasons, 172 episodes (FAIL!)
- ENT - 4 seasons, 98 episodes (FAIL!)
Except, even that was a FAIL because the remaster didn't sell enough copies of the Blu-ray set
742 episodes and a FAIL!
Wasn't there co-ordinated down vote on that youtube vid by the Doomcock stable to try and make it look like everyone hated DSC?
So, I hold this kind of talk in the same way I do the "paid shill" crap. If we're going to post things like this, we have to back it up.
(I've been guilty of suggesting this stuff in the past. I realize its not helpful.)
Well how can they have an opinion on a show they're not watching?
The phrase 'elephant in the room' does not mean 'something made up that noone is aware of'.
No. Just no.
