Which is probably why I'm more forgiving. This wasn't a smooth sailing production despite efforts. It had a variety of different storytellers and desired outcomes that unfortunately didn't all come across clearly.
Why the hate for Disco?

I pretty much liked all the treks right away except maybe enterprise at first. Discovery and Picard are the first trek shows i truly hated. The writing is amateur and the plots are convoluted and filler based to get through a 10 or 12 episode arc. TOS and TNG could get bold concepts and ideas across with a great story in less then a hour. Discovery stretches an hour story into 10 with loads of boring filler.
Even Saturday Night Live now makes fun of Discovery's over-emotionality:

It's on Saturday Night Live. If it's on their radar at all, that's good enough for me.
Great minds think alike!
Disco and Picard were written knowing that both shows would go on for several seasons.
There's good and bad in every show ("Spock's Brain", "Sub Rosa").

Yes, so why put yourself through that when you know you're not going to like it? Just skip it.
I bailed out on the last two seasons of VOY and all of ENT. If I could do it back then, you can do it now.
I don't think I'm too hard on Star Trek. If this were some other non-Trek show, but essentially the same as it is, judging from the rest of my life I wouldn't watch it. It's not my cup of tea.
PIC was better for me tonally, but disappointing, plot-wise; and I thought it was going to be less action/pew than it was. (My bad -- based on assumptions/expectations, not the show's fault -- they can do what they do.)
DSC just isn't my cup of tea, for some reasons. I keep watching it b/c the Trek name. Old habits die hard. I was able to break away from Lower Decks after 2 eps.
I'm a little bummed by the DSC trailer about a BIG PROBLEM again. I thought they were gonna go flying about the Fed, trying to patch it up. I would think that would offer many opportunites for interesting premises. Some would work, some not. Could still have arcs. I am tired of the big bad thing that must be stopped.

Why must all TV necessarily be easily digestible?
You're having to leave out a lot in the name of distilling it down to an hour.
Picard is shaping up to be Trek crossed with Marvel Comics.
You have ordinary people (Rios, Raffi, Jurati) having to work alongside these super-powered Titans (Robo-Picard, Elnor the swordsman, Soji, Seven, and the forthcoming Guinan with Q thrown in playing the Loki role).
Picard even has his own Alfred Pennyworth(s) in the forms of Laris and Zhaban.

Then why hang on for 10 whole hours if it's that bad? That's like finishing 95% of your meal before complaining to the manager that your order sucked and you want a refund.
Personally, I find hating on a tv show an absolute utter waste of existence. Either find something to enjoy about it or stop watching and give your precious time to something you do enjoy.
But without passionately hating a TV show, what meaning does life have?
Typical white hatred........
You have no idea how much you just made me laugh. Especially since I think you're actually being serious.
How do you "stop" a gravitational anomaly?
You might as well try to shut down a nebula.
Red Matter? 
Dig it.Red Matter?
Then launch it into the spatial phenomenon.
Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow whilst realigning the tachyon emitters to stabilize the warp field and aligning the phase coils in the main deflector. Or something.How do you "stop" a gravitational anomaly?
